Oh yeeess. This is sexy.

Some of the features:
- Automatic Promise Unwrapping: You don't have to await async functions.
- Automatic Error Handling which can be customized: You don't need to try/catch those promises.
- Async Queue System: Every method call waits for the previous one to finish and operates on the most recent version of the proxy.
- Full access to the entire DOM API if you don't want to use a custom method.
- All array methods return the proxy when operating on it so you can make new queues with them.
- Streaming HTML through readable streams or server-sent events.
- All AJAX methods have event hooks like onWait, onSuccess, and onError
- Automatic Form Serialization: You don't even need to set a URL or body!
- Fully Type-Safe: If you use a tag name for the selector, it is automatic.
And, it's still over nine times smaller than jQuery itself. [Here's a link to the Github Repo!](https://github.com/jazzypants1989/jessquery) It includes a three-hour long code walkthrough if you want to learn more about how I did all of this.
To clarify, I don't know how performant this would be in a production application, but I think this stands on its own as a proof of concept.
