Stack Overflow User Survey Results

Of all places I'm surprised SO would consider jQuery a language separate from Javascript, an aggregate with a footnote would seem more appropriate.

Not a big deal it just seems odd to me. At least they didn't put HTML up there :)

I was surprised by that too. Maybe they allowed free-form answers.

No, it was a checkbox array (I took the survey). The thing is, saying you use jQuery is not the same as saying you use Javascript. The only Javascript I really use is jQuery. I have no deep JS needs, so I only use jQuery to make interfaces pretty. I chose jQuery (and C#, and some others) but did not choose JS.

Still - you are yet beholden to the quirks of JS like how operator precedence and casting works.

You should have also added JS even though you use the jQuery library extensively.
