They call it LABjs which stands for “Loading and Blocking JavaScript”, it’s a cool new way of loading JavaScript files on the fly, the project is a handywork Kyle Simpson with the help of Steve Souders, the creator of “Page Speed” Firebug plugin, the library seems pretty interesting. See what they say about their library:
LABjs’ primary goal is to replace the “<script> tag soup” in your pages (you know, all that garbage that clutters up your <head> or the end of your <body>) with a simple and expressive API that gives you complete control over the loading and executing behavior of your scripts.

Updated: Post updated to include the name of Kyle Simpson the primary author of the library.

FYI, LABjs was written by me, Kyle Simpson. But Steve Souders collaborated on some of the features to help make it as good as it could be.
@Kyle, I know but somehow I brain farted and missed to include your name sorry about that, I have updated the post so that it includes your name. By the way I liked this library at first glance and really very very excited about it, I have decided to include it in one of my lab projects and will test it hard
, I’ll let you know if I come across any issue, great job done!
Cheers
