Kevin Yank of Sitepoint.com posted this interesting (and rather scathing) article on Google Closure, outlining some inefficiencies in their code, and how it seems to have been written by Java developers. Extremely interesting stuff, he makes some really good points.

Google Closure – in case you missed the announcement – is an open-source JS library a la Prototype, Mootools and jQuery. Still haven’t figured out why on EARTH they called it “closure”…. How confusing is that?

But the project itself is well worth investigating.
