Re: [development] replace drupal.js with prototype.js?

Prototype does indeed seem to be a very light, clean, and extensible library: but nonetheless, it is nowhere near as light as drupal.js. Quick comparison: Drupal.js: 281 lines, 6.21KB Prototype.js: 1039 lines, 27.29KB I am confident of the quality and the benefits of the prototype library. But we really need to consider whether or not these benefits can justify quadrupling the size of our base JS file. According to websiteoptimization.com, web sites should be aiming for a to have 8KB or less of JS on any given page. This will not be possible with prototype. Jaza.
