JavaScript Frameworks with Ruby

" summary

Survey of Prototype, Scriptaculous, jQuery, MooTools, YUI, XJS and SproutCore with concrete tradeoffs: jQuery favors CSS selectors and plugin-safe noConflict style, Prototype supplies Builder and RJS helpers, UJS removes repeated inline Ajax by moving handlers into one file; SproutCore demo runs locally with generators that emit JavaScript, model properties using get/set, data binding, fixtures and a working drag‑and‑drop photo app that persists via server JSON (and can fall back to HTML5 datastore). SproutCore demo works: drag‑drop, data binding, generators produce JS files UJS pattern moves JS out of ERB into single file
