Great post. Now we just need a rebuttal from Steve Souders.<p>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.<p>Am I missing any?
>But ControlJS, HeadJS, and many other script loaders like them are doing the same thing. They aren’t necessarily using the exact same trick as LABjs used, but they are pinning their entire loading functionality on hacky, non-standard behavior.<p>Well, yikes. I'm using head.js because I figured one loader was just as good as another, but now I'm having second thoughts. Dang, <i>everything</i> is complicated...
"I think it’s"<p>Looks like UTF-8 interpreted as Windows-1252 then converted to UTF-8. And looks like it is happening in quotations of blog comments.
