#35440 — jquery status

I realise that jquery is in use on a great many website but it's 
interesting to read why one large site has stopped
<https://twitter.com/mislav/status/1022058279000842240>

The main reasons given are
"Fewer kb sent to visitors, more explicit syntax when performing DOM 
manipulations, ability to use Flowjs for static type checking"

I have always said (at least thought), and I still stand by it:
“If jQuery is not already obsolete now, it will become obsolete.
Therefore, too, it is a mistake to make everything depend on jQuery.”

JQuery is an insult to the elegance of Javascript.
