#2Hi Everyone - author here. I just wanted to give you some background on the project. JohnnyDepp came out of a feature request I got on another project called LoadJS (https://github.com/muicss/loadjs) which is an async loading library. The request was for a higher-level dependency manager that:
1. lazy-loads files
2. handles JS/CSS/images
3. handles nested dependencies
4. makes it easy to manage dependencies among team members
5. is extremely lightweight

Have you looked into ?
When you use that, you have dependency management supported by the browser natively.
In that light, are custom dependency loaders still needed?

Thanks for the recommendation! I wasn't aware of the modules feature or that it was already supported in Chrome/Safari/Firefox/Edge. I'll take a closer look at modules but if you're only targeting edge browsers then maybe you can do dependency management purely natively.

#5This is without doubt the worst dependency manager I have ever heard of.

#8Maybe you should name this JohnnyDep so it's more an allusion and less the actual person's name? Dep makes more sense anyways, as dependency has one p.

I remember using this 8 years ago. Lazy loading is awesome and way to go!
