Using ES6 to Build a More Efficient jQuery

Jordan Kasper | @jakerella

jQuery is great. ^{[citation needed]}

But jQuery has some problems.

non-standard features
slow for some operations
bloated feature set
file size

Don't use jQuery.

Got it.

Don't use jQuery.

Got it.

We still need something to manipulate the DOM.

Why not?

(Actually quite a bit of ES5, too.)

Show me!

Is it more efficient?

Sorta.

ಠ_ಠ

So should I still use jQuery?

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Think about what you need.

Could you do with just sizzle and ES5/6?

Thank You!
