who needs social life when you have broadband?

I’ve spend the whole afternoon yesterday trying to port my dynamic form generator made with JQuery to Mootools. I’m almost there (but “almost” is not “there” yet and the script is rising some really weird arbitrary errors. odd…). But why would I change from JQuery to Mootols?

That’s a very interesting question (I’m actually asking myself every 5 minutes). The [partial] answers are the following:
- Joomla! 1.5 uses Mootools. As working with Joomla! still pay the bills around here, I must adapt to them
- I don’t wanna load two different JS frameworks that do the same thing (or not!) in my components.
- It is always good to learn new stuff, even if, at the end your conclusion is: It was a total waste of time learning this crap. This sux! (as I did with Dojo).
- I need to post new stuff in my blog, what could be better than a comparison between JQuery && Mootools from a regular developer point-of-view? It’s gonna be fun

For now, all I have to say is: [IMHO] Mootools’ learning curve is longer than JQuery’s.
