And jQuery will likely outlive both.
i make my proper prostrations to the gods of the hot new thing
peering through reverent fingers I watch them flourish and fall,
and reliable silent old jquery, I notice, outlasts them all
With syntax so simple (and not a fork bomb),
No matter the changes in chorus and verse,
Every new framework . . . will make it all worse.
Within your questions and inner for loop,
Is readable syntax (not alphabet soup),
Give up on your promises, avoid callback hell,
Just keep using jQuery - I promise, it's swell!
Washboards might outlive washing machines but I still prefer the latter to do my laundry.
> jQuery is used by 94.5% of all the websites whose JavaScript library we know. This is 77.5% of all websites.
This appears to be current data too (Oct 2023). I'm not sure how reliable the data is, but it is congruent with my experience that _a lot_ of websites still use jQuery. It's easy to forget the HN crowd is also in a bubble. If you only read articles here, you'd think everyone is using the latest JS framework du jour, but lots of the web still runs on PHP and jQuery.
