I've always thought there should be a modern, lightweight jQuery alternative like this. Well done! I love the syntax and have been implementing something similar (although with inline events and more than just the standard array methods). [0]
Do you have an article/screencast on how the locality of behavior is implemented in both surreal and its companion project css-scope-inline? I'd love to understand it so I can maintain it longterm and add it to my own projects.
I'd love to talk with you about your philosophy of the web. I think we could sync up about some things!
