Lately was pawing at some Selector API's and really liked the raw power of native JS!

So here is some comaprsion of Native JS vs jQuery selectors

As jQuery uses "$" as a shortcut for "jQuery", lets defined a naughty $$ for making things much more easier. [ True! I can use "jQuery.noConflict()".]

As per the standards The dollar sign ($) and the underscore (_) are permitted anywhere in an IdentifierName.

function $$(selector){
return Array.prototype.slice.call(document.querySelectorAll(selector), 0);
}

The above is just the starting to it, even though /me has great respect towards jQuery I like to paw more on native js.
