Rikulo built using JQuery not itself?

Question

I'm wondering,

In definition Rikulo

Rikulo is a free and open source Dart framework for creating incredible cross-platform web and native mobile applications using HTML5.

But why the web is built by JQuery not itself?

Is that Rikulo is to young yet so it builts with JQuery?

BTW, the "compiler" Dart Editor use a lot of RAM ~500M it cost a lot!!!

Answer 1

Rikulo is written in Dart, not JS, so jQuery is not applicable here. IMO, Dart's API covers well what jQuery provides, though Dart is young and not as stable as jQuery yet.
