Yahoo! adds “extend” to YUI 0.11
Peter Michaux recently informed me that Yahoo!’s latest release of their UI library, YUI 0.11, now includes a variant of the extend method discussed on this site. Peter writes:
“Yahoo! just announced YUI 0.11 (their JavaScript library) and after I applied a little pressure they decided to use a variation of your extend function as one of their three most fundamental methods in the library.”
Peter has a nice post comparing code written with “extend” in JS versus ports written in Java and Ruby. A comment at the bottom of that page announces the latest YUI release and includes some useful links related to the project.
Thanks for the heads-up Peter!
