As such I feel I owe Javascript an apology as, if only through laziness, I have been committing the same sin in its name. When recommending JQuery to co-workers, friends, random passers-by and the occasional hobo (as I have been wont to do recently) I have tended to summarize its merit as “it makes Javascript not suck.” Which is rubbish. Javascript has always been perfectly cromulent. What JQuery does is make the DOM API not suck.
