For those of us who aren't familiar with the products mentioned so far on this thread, could someone explain why it is interesting to be able to delay the execution of a batch of scripts until after all those scripts have been downloaded? It seems to me like it would be simpler to either have all the scripts download and execute as they become available, with any dependencies resolved by having the scripts register to be notified when their dependencies become available (this tends to be the kind of approach I usually use), or to have all the scripts concatenated into one JS file that is downloaded and executed in one go (the latter approach is what Google tends to use on its sites — it has the side-benefit of reducing the number of HTTP connections). My apologies for this rather basic question; I'm rather naïve in these matters. -- Ian Hickson
