1 year ago Hey @codyzu 👋 thank you for submitting a Call for Session. I have a few questions regarding your submission:
- Are more jQuery maintainers/contributors planning to attend to Collab Summit?
- What's the intended collaboration model within this talk? Is it to raise awareness among the other maintainers? Showcase accomplishments?
Just by reading the session description, it doesn't sound suitable for the Collab Summit model.
Thank you!

Describe the session
jQuery undeniably powers the web… Today, over 82 million websites use jQuery. jQuery changed the way developers built web applications and played a crucial role in JavaScript’s world domination. This talk reveals some of the startling statistics and analysis of the impact jQuery has on today’s internet and the history of what made this library the powerhouse of the web.
In 2023, new frameworks, such as react, have taken over web development, but jQuery still lives on. Are there security risks? What would a world look like without jQuery? Are there modern alternatives and web standards to this library? What would be the reasons to switch to them and how? Is it possible to have too much of a good thing?
Imagine a future where the world relies less on this fundamental building block and why we might want to work towards that future.
