jQuery II: The Quickening!

I recently built a toy Golang SSR project using Zepto, a jQuery-like library, and felt like I was 17 again (*EDIT it's unmaintained - don't use it). Also of note is that "Highlander II" takes place in the year 2024 [1]. It's a sign! Everything old is new again! `$` is immortal!

I also created almost 10 years ago Umbrella JS, which is a tiny jQuery replacement but with more array-like arguments in the functions:

Zepto is unmaintained, which isn’t good for security issues or bugs, unfortunately.

jQuery proper is both maintained and has actively been working on a 4.0 release and still gets security and bug fixes

Thanks for bringing this up. Edited my OP - there's no impression as such on their front page and it seemed fairly ergonomic. My bad on that one.

IIRC, I used Zepto with Phonegap around ~2012. What a blast from the past.
