Not really a safe assumption, it turns out. http://zoompf.com/blog/2010/01/should-you-use-javascript-library-cdns http://zoompf.com/blog/2010/01/should-you-use-javascript-lib... has one of the best discussions of the topic. > I see a chicken and egg thing here, to be on Google CDN you need millions of hits, yet being on Google CDN might help you reach that goal. I don't think that's legit.. If one of your primary criteria on whether to use a given javascript library is it's CDN availability.. you're probably not choosing your tools well. At the same time, I know I prefer to grab a CDN hosted script when starting a project then the downloading rigamarole. But that is like just general development momentum issue rather than a tooling decision.
