Javascript libraries

Having decided that javascript is now mature enough to be worth having a look at, I needed to choose a nice javascript library. I liked the Mochikit screencast, but I thought I ought to know what else is out there.
I came across this rather good comparison of javascript libraries. After reading it I decided that sticking with Mochikit for a while was the way to go. I feel much better about that now that I have an idea of what I am missing elsewhere.
Bob Ippolito has ported many things such as effects from Scriptaculous to Mochikit, leaving the APIs unchanged, which means that switching to Scriptaculous at a later date might not be too hard anyway. But whilst experimenting, that interactive interpreter looks invaluable.
I’ve just viewed the Mochikit screencast again. It’s even better than I remembered it being! If you haven’t seen it you really ought to!
