YUI-EXT adds jQuery-like functionality

I make a feeble attempt to follow the Javascript frameworks, and saw this. With jQuery's meteoric rise, imitation was inevitable.

cool - it's nice to see the concept catching on...

It's funny, Slocum claims a huge speed increase over jQuery, but YUI in general always just feels sluggush for some reason - maybe I'm biased as an admitted jQuery fanboi, maybe I'm comparing apples to oranges, etc... but YUI==slow in my mind.

I make a feeble attempt keeping up reading about new javascript frameworks.

It's going so fast now, that when I have finished reading a post from enter-javascript-guru-name-here about his new framework and I go back to my feedreader, the next post has popped up about another new framework from another-javascript-guru..

Competition is good. One thing I noticed about the test is they are using the standard jQuery library which includes stuff other than just DOM selectors. However, after running a couple tests with just the jQuery, selector and event libraries there was some substantial improvement but not enough to change the results. Maybe if I could figure out how to run the test with just jQuery and selector there might be better results but something in the test needs jQueries bind() function.

As long as you all keep up your feeble attempts at keeping up to date, I can keep up to date by visiting phpDN a gazillion times a day. Keep up the good work guys! :D
