Dojo and MooTools

Posted in

Over the past several months we here at MooTools have been contemplating how much of what we do is duplicated effort. When we started this whole project years ago it was because we wanted to do things our own way, but as MooTools and JavaScript in general have progressed, we find ourselves facing the tedium of all the low lying code that has to be written to get Browsers to play nice, not to mention the richer things like our inheritance system and other utilities like effects, DomReady, etc. etc.
