summary
Goals for jQuery center on eliminating cross‑browser pain by shipping a short, terse API that lets developers write in Firefox and have it work in Internet Explorer, plus heavy investment in documentation and community rather than just code. jQuery Mobile faces surprising device quirks — older BlackBerry engines and Opera Mini proxy behavior — making backward compatibility hard; a 1.0 beta is imminent and 1.0 targets summer. JavaScript’s strength is its mix of object-oriented and functional styles and needs faster DOM primitives.
