I was amazed that backbone.js can use either jQuery or Zepto as its “helper library”. How did the Zepto people manage to have a syntax compatible with jQuery’s? Is Zepto just a subset of jQuery?

Seems they are trying to keep with the jQuery style syntax and providing a minified library that only includes the most useful features.
