No, not the martial art, but the Javascript UI library.
At work we use multiple contractors (such as I  ) including an Indian company for the UI of most of the new website.
They love Kendo UI and use it everywhere.
Making an archive of the website I discovered that the kendo.min.js is..... 3MB! 3MB of minified Javascript! How scary does that sound!

Its says "Build Better JavaScript Apps Faster" on the website ! And its Trusted by NASA, HP and Millions More, so fear no more !!!

the amount of source is just the beginning... I'd suggest sensible shoes.

Look at the bright side - it is not you who have to work with Kendo UI... 3MB is the best part of it...

It is I!
I mean, err, you're right, it is not I who has to do it!

3MB mimimised?
Don't you mean 3MB minimised and compressed! Mwahahahaha!

No. It is only minimized... It does compress while downloading, and cached too...
It takes 35 ms average to download, but it actually happens only when version updated...

Kendo scarier:
In oour projects, some idiot in the distant past decided it would be a good idea to combine the Kendo, jquery, and jquery-ui scripts into a single monolithic file.
We have 20 apps that we maintain, and I've counted FOUR different versions of this file so far. All of them use different versions of the three scripts mentioned, and NONE of them can be used within apps that don't already use them.
All of the scripts mentioned are at LEAST six years old, and because they're "composited" (that's how the rest of the team refers to it), it would be VERY difficult to update any of the script components. We won't even go into the need for complete and total regression testing.
So, I'll see your scare, and raise you two terrifying's.

Is there such a thing? If not, we deserve our own. I mean if crows (a murder) and cows (a herd) and such can have one, why can't we? Some that come immediately to mind:

Well, clearly we would be a Generic Collection.
Some less hygienic members would be a Heap<T> while our politer members would obviously be a Queue<T>

I'm good with 'collection'. These things are called terms of venery.

We are the Collection. Your biological and technological distinctiveness will be added to our own. Resistance is futile

That would be a group of electrical engineers.

That would probably just get shorted to A Dork, so might as well accept it up front.

Do you have some problem with me? You sure seem to go out of your way to be negative to my posts. If so let it out. Passive aggression isn't healthy. Maybe that wasn't targeted at me but others seem to have to been.
