In case of a script.js rewrite I personally would prefer to use the closure
library. It
should provide everything we need (and may need...) without adding further
plugins and
it compiles down to a single slim JS file.

On the first look closure library is an overkill. What are the chances that
GSoC
student can take part in customizing rietveld interface? Do users with JS
knowledge
have a chance to debug this slim JS without any specific tools installed?
Closeure
syntax seems more bloated than jQuery.
For jQuery developers you do not need to be familiar with OOP concepts. In case
of
Closure it seems to be a prerequisite. Not just Java, but you also need to get
"javascript closure" concept as well. Many designers are using jQuery as a
simple and
intuitive scripting language to add dynamism to CSS selectors and not aware of
these
concepts at all. Closure therefore seems to have rather high barrier for
contribution. Are there any significant benefits in it for rietveld? Can jQuery
be
used along with closure library? Is there some substitute for jQuery?
