should i not use backbone.js because it uses hashbangs?

Question

I'm new to backbone.js and like the idea of structuring javascript. However, i've read it relies on hashbangs which Twitter is trying to eradicate.

So my question is should I not use backbone.js due to this?

Answer 1

Backbone actually just uses a hash and not a hashbang. However if you enable pushState than on modern browsers (pretty much anything other than IE) there will be no hash at all.
