re: #27 recusancy

Yeah. They’re becoming the new IE. I think they’re addressing it, or at least I hope they are.

Have you tried using lab.js or head.js in the past before?

Yes, but I’m now using the async attribute of the script tag, because the major browsers all support it (finally). Keeping dependencies straight is not easy to do with those loaders, and it becomes too much trouble to maintain when you change something.

Right now, there’s just one big concatenated Javascript file with everything in it, loading asynchronously.
