What Hacker News says

4 sources
This seems to be the new 'cool'. Why jQuery whine, whine, whine. You've got jQuery on your own site. Why are you moaning about it? The source is here: https://github.com/guillaumepotier/Garlic.js/blob/master/gar... The code is pretty much idiomatic jQuery js following most of their style rules, layout rules and standard constructs so it's obviously been written as a jQuery extension. He must know jQuery well, hence why not use it? As for why, well I spotted a bit of sizzle, jQuery.data and the event framework in one pass of a small code base. Given the nature of the library I can even guess what they're all for without reading the code. Quite a lot more than the inevitable each that is also in there.
