Not a JS lib but for JS devs CouchDB/CouchApp rocks. Fully JS webapps with no db/app server distinction. Why does no one care about it anymore? Add BigCouch for scalability.
Ask HN: What is the coolest JS library out there?

Re: Ask HN: What is the coolest JS library out there?
#92I like sweetjs which brings syntax macros to JavaScript. It hasn't got much traction yet, but I'm convinced someone will do something neat with it.
An obvious use could be as a library building tool. i.e. All the macros could be restricted to the internal methods used to construct the library DSL. All the public methods could look like standard js, and the library users would be none the wiser to the magic used internally to make the library construction more efficient.

#93Earlier quoted context omitted.
I would be interested in this. Does it work?
As a proof of concept yes (scaling, rotation, moving the background work) but it doesn't do much yet. I wanted to make something like Irfanview that could handle basic transforms with a minimalist ui, but it still needs a ton of work. Drawing is more or less broken - I got as far as adding pixels to the canvas before other (paying) projects just got in the way. When I figure out how to get it to work on a github page…
this works too:

#95Check out http://JSDB.io and http://pineapple.io -- both list a ton of cool JS libraries.
Im the creator of JSDB, so thanks for the mention! In the interest of equality, theres a few more that are worth taking a look at: microjs.com, and http://jster.net/
