Which languages have a jQuery equivalent?

jQuery is rather fat library for the things it does.  It does a lot 
of things wrong, does not teach developers of learning the standard 
DOM, in turn teaches developers not doing things right, and finally 
adds quite a bit amount of crap going over the network which 
developers and users end up not really using.

If you go to comp.lang.javascript you'll get quite negative opinion 
on the usefulness of the jQuery library from the experts.
