Lacks comments, poorly organized, full of ugly names. e.g.: from chain.js: // TODO: BUG! Handle plural chains by iterating over them. (obj_has(next, 'put')){ // potentially incorrect? if(u !== next.put){ // potentially incorrect? Maybe? A lot of comments like: // ugly hack for now.

I can't believe so many js devs have regressed to single-letter variable names. This has been a code smell for generations :(
