## What it is
$script.js is a tiny asynchronous JavaScript loader and dependency manager for the browser. It loads scripts on demand without blocking other resources and supports named bundles and dependency readiness callbacks.

## Use cases
- load javascript files asynchronously in the browser
- manage script dependencies with named bundles
- avoid blocking page rendering while loading scripts
- lazy-load third-party scripts on demand
- wait for multiple scripts to be ready before running code

## When to choose
- you need an extremely lightweight script loader with legacy browser support
- you want simple named-bundle dependency management without a full module bundler

## When to avoid
- you use a modern bundler or ES modules for dependency management
- you need CSS or other resource loading, not just JavaScript
