Protoculous - Prototype and script.aculo.us

July 20th, 2007

An unknown Frenchman did a great job at combining and compressing Prototype & script.aculo.us into one ultra-small single Javascript file.

At the time of writing he is on version 1.0.2 which includes Prototype 1.5.1 and Scriptaculous 1.7.1 beta 3
The Protoculous file size is 54.6KB

Download from his site.

I use bananascript.com a lot of the time for compressing my Javascript with great results.

Update: I’ve found an alternative called Protopacked which does a similar thing with similar results.
