JS to load other JS never made sense to me.

  just thought i'd note (since you're new-ish) that you're getting downvoted because you stated an opinion without backing it up with any information. why doesn't it make sense to you? it makes sense to others.

  Have you ever worked in large scale applications with little to no browser refresh?

  First off, you shouldn't be down-voted for your opinion. If you agree or the comment adds to a discussion, up-vote. If you disagree, do nothing. If the comment is off-topic, asinine, or detracts from the discussion, only then down-vote. Come on HN, you should know better. There's a lot of reasons to load Javascript from Javascript. One of the main ones that crop up is when you're building large single-page web applications that involve a lot of files that may or may not be dependent on one another. This allows you to start executing some of your page-specific Javascript as soon as the libraries it depends on become available, before the rest of your bulky resources finish loading.
