Just leaving this here since people will wonder the relevance of jQuery today.

> jQuery is used by 94.5% of all the websites whose JavaScript library we know. This is 77.4% of all websites.

How many of them are WordPress installations or sites running Bootstrap?

[redder23]

Modern WordPress themes do not use jQuery on the front-end.

Bootstrap does not require jQuery. Not sure if ever but not since 3.0 and were are at 5.0 at this point.

That’s a shocking number. I wonder how much of that is just duplicated instances of some standard template, Wordpress, whatnot.

Chances are you have "ed" installed on your currently used machine, but I doubt it was ever opened.

With that said, I'm quite surprised that jQuery is not abandoned, barely heard about it in the past decade or so. I suspect also that it is mostly part of boilerplate coming from other libraries and frameworks, and rarely intentional.

I write jquery almost every day for work (I work on wordpress sites)
