In modern web development, some JavaScript frameworks have made their names like Prototype, Mootools, YUI, JQuery. But if you find them not wholly suitable to your next project there are some other good frameworks out there.

Jacob Gube has given out a nice introduction of “10 alternative and capable JavaScript frameworks/libraries to explore” going over the good of them. Here they are:

6. Archetype JavaScript Framework
7. June Framework
8. UIZE
9. SimpleJS
