Reading a review like <a href="http://www.sitepoint.com/blogs/2009/11/12/google-closure-how-not-to-write-javascript/" rel="nofollow">this</a>, keeps me further away from the language. Do you think the points mentioned are valid? I am new to javascript and javascript libraries. Reading a review like this, keeps me further away from the language.

I think Google's done a good job, but the design decisions are not too different from that of dojo's. In practice, I don't know which one is wordier, but that's hardly a consideration of picking one over the other. I wish Closure luck, and I hope it forms health competition to dojo, but I'm not entirely convinced yet. The compiler, though? That I'd give a serious look.

And it's my favorite client-side library for Web apps. I'm not surprised about the similarities between Closure and Dojo: why would you not choose the best architecture?
