New JavaScript FX library from Vienna, Austria: script.aculo.us is past, scripty2 is the future!

Thomas Fuchs is the pioneer of the first FX JavaScript library script.aculo.us and as he and his work reside in Vienna (which is more or less my hometown) I have to support his new open source product called scripty2 which is a successor of script.aculo.us.

To keep things short: It’s a first release and therefore still in Alpha. It looks promising, especially because it’s only 5KB of size (gzipped & excl. PrototypeJS).

Check out the demos to see if it’s something you gonna need for your future work or not.
