2009: Easy JavaScript for Everyone
2009 will be interesting. In this series of posts, I publish some thoughts/wishes about technological improvements in 2009. Previous entry: 2009: Really Rich Internet Applications.
For classic websites, jQuery has made the JavaScript development somewhat easy. Especially, if things like accessibility, graceful degradation and progressive enhancement are high on your priority list (which they really should be!).
One key success factor for broader adoption will be, whether the jQuery development team integrates/consolidates the excellent community plugins[1] into the main releases[2]. This will make the handling of the plugins hopefully easier and will make jQuery look better in feature comparisons.
