I was hoping for an article on the deeper semiotic meaning of why programmers and which ones with what experiences were drawn to the ideas of jQuery when they were. That's an interesting topic for any programming language that achieves success and the micro intellectual developments that they represent, SQL v NoSQL for instance, and other pendulum swings.

Problem is those always erupt into flame wars, people don't like being deconstructed, I wish it wasn't so hard, self awareness is a good thing, even if the deconstruction is a leaky abstraction as generalizations are.

Then again, we do have Yegge ;-)
