JRails: Scriptaculous on top of JQuery
Prototype and Scriptaculous had their origins in Ruby on Rails before spinning off. There they went head to head with the lighter, leaner JQuery. Now the circle is complete, with Scriptaculous functionality on top of JQuery making its way back into RoR in the form of JRails.
jRails is a drop-in jQuery replacement for Prototype/script.aculo.us on Rails. Using jRails, you can get all of the same default Rails helpers for javascript functionality using the lighter jQuery library.
This is certainly good news for folks who do a fair bit of mashing up. Combining two sites or services, one of which uses Prototype and the other JQuery, can be a bit painful.
