Great post. Now we just need a rebuttal from Steve Souders.
I wish some of these authors would start collaborating together though. The number of script loaders is getting ridiculous: LABjs, ControlJS, Head JS, and $script.js.
Am I missing any?
- busticated 16y agoEdited to provide context: am I missing any (other script loading libs)? Require js... and it is really nice!
- jhrobert 16y agoI read that post a few weeks ago, while looking for a script loader. Very interesting indeed. I fired my editor and coded my own loader (i'm a wheel designer somehow I guess). I called the result Loadfire http://simpliwiki.com/loadfire.js.html http://simpliwiki.com/loadfire.js.html A funny difference with the other is about the way I deal with dependencies in the asynchronous/evented context of Javascript. Basically: active waits, specified programatically. The other solutions either ignore the issue and fallback to synchronous like operations or provide some "declarative" ways of specifying the dependencies, but not flexible enough for my needs. I'm happy with the result (on browsers that supports .async that is).
- jpadvo 16y agoAccording to the LABjs homepage, Steve Souders is now working with the author on LABjs. http://labjs.com/ http://labjs.com/
- bretthopper 16y agoSteve Souders DID work with the author. Now he made a "competing" script loader called ControlJS which is what this entire blog post is about.
