Infuse.js

Infuse.js provides a uniform API for accessing Javascript-native objects and arrays, as well as defining futures, signals, inversions, invariants, and other types of its own. Like jQuery, it maintains a separate prototype for shared methods and does not monkey-patch any builtin prototypes.

Infuse is quite simply the best Javascript library that could ever possibly exist, ever. I realize you don't believe me, but that's probably because you haven't yet checked out the totally epic builtin types:

• arrays
• objects
• multiobjects
• buffers
• functions (warning: unfathomably awesome)
• futures
• signals
• the get method
• edges
• sorting
• awaiting

Also useful:

• methods supported by all types
• global utility functions

And the low-level stuff:

• generators
• versions
• constructors
• heapmap

• signal
• tail
• util

Building Infuse

You'll need a fairly recent node.js build, as well as UglifyJS to build infuse.min.js. If you don't have or want Uglify, you can export UGLIFY=no.

Building is usually as simple as running make:

$ make
[test output]
$
