JQuery and Underscore
Underscore.js
A nice functional JavaScript library. I like it, although it might be a bit of
a challenge to get it working server side with CloudFlare workers. It even
includes a simple dynamic template system with _.template(). It can be found
as an ESM module as well as “normal” UMD, so that might help some.
JQuery
A compact library to do DOM processing based on tags. A similar challenge to get it server side, but it would make for more expressive terse code if the server had a DOM, but it doesn’t. I suppose that’s lucky. It’s not as though all it does can’t be done otherways, it’s just so compact to write without all the boilerplate duplication. I’m sure with DOM templates it will be efficient to implement things.
As modern browsers have fetch/async/await it seems best to use the slim
version without ajax and effects itself replaced by CSS effects. For new
projects this will be best.
TypeScript
The type definitions are available, so that’s nice.
