It's not a "technology" it's a library, and still very useful, found on millions of sites old and new. Has a vast ecosystem of free plugins with extensive documented support and very diverse browser support.

Also he put "HTML" on the list, you're saying that has outlived its usefulness?

I thought libraries could be technologies. If that's wrong, then I used the wrong word.

I probably characterized the list wrong anyway, as you've pointed out, since HTML decidedly has not outlived its usefulness. Perhaps it's a list of web things prominently used 15 years ago.

I would normally use "technologies" here, but it seems we have a difference of definition.

Ok, but jquery didn't exist 15 years ago, and really didn't get popular until after 2008 IMHO. Doesn't matter, I get your point.

I love jQuery and I don't believe it has outlived anything.

About the html, I live in a bubble of react and vue and everything is templates and jsx that's why HTML is there

Cool. Jquery has helped me a lot over the years in my job. Jquery plugins have saved my ass countless times. I would only use them sparingly, such as slideshow carousels, which are too difficult to whip one up when client needs it 5 min ago.

I love having an API into the jquery plugin and getting things done quickly and efficiently, and giving credit to the developer who kindly gave it away for free.

This is why jquery doesn't belong on a list with "blink" tag which everyone hates because it's a flawed tag that should be forgotten, much like over-use of animated gifs.

Anyway.. good luck breaking free of the bubble!
