dojo.Patterns for Lovers of JavaScript
summary
Dojo claims a small-footprint core and shows the tools that back it: a build system that concatenates and minifies, 6K stubs for tiny installs, conditional ifdef builds that produce a 17K webkit build, and scope‑burning to remap namespaces. Performance tests and a mujo experiment demonstrate mujo beats dojo by changing object lookup paths. The stack includes Deferreds for async, many stores (CouchDB, CSS Rule, Flickr), live demo via Persevere/cometd, and dojo.data + RPC SMD for pluggable back ends.
