jQuery: Digg’s new comment system powered by jQuery

If you’ve visited Digg over the last couple of hours, you have probably have seem the new and improved comment system.

Ok… Personally I liked the old comment system better and I think the new comment system sucks big time!

Any who, in a post about the technical aspects behind the new comment system, it was revealed that the new system is now powered by jQuery instead of Scriptaculous. To me this is a big deal since I’ve a huge fan of jQuery and I’m hoping that one day it will over take that crap that is Prototype and Scriptaculous.
