Are there any resources comparing the adoption rates of the various javascript frameworks similar to tcpi? Basically the number of sites using a particular framework on a time-line would be ideal.

I don't know of anything specifically like that, though Google Trends is probably a pretty good indication of popularity. For example, you can compare jquery and mootools:

Excellent, thanks! I guess adding in others such as yui, scriptaculous, etc really shows how much jquery is dominating at the moment.

Yeah, jquery is far and away the most popular. It's being distributed by Microsoft even. It's the Google of javascript libraries.

the search volumes for a framework's name as a keyword is not a fair indication its actual usage across the web--although I doubt anyone would dispute jquery's total supremacy. there just has to be a more meaningful way of measuring...

Well I'm sure Google could probably figure it out since they have every page on the web indexed... they could tell you how many reference a jquery library (not completely accurately).. but I'd say the search volume is a fairly good indicator.

You can use google trends for that:
It's not totally accurate since it relies on searches made on google, but it gives a good idea
