True, perhaps there's a slimmed-down version of requreJS (or something
similar) that does the loading, and the callback-on-load, but not the
modules? Actually, I doubt the modules code is that big a deal.
In any case,
I hadn't thought about working in terms of requireJS modules, and
given how URLs for JavaScript library assets are organized, it may not
be possible to use the module name (i.e., require('core')) but always
the path (require('/assets/123456/tapestry/core.js').
However, requireJS modules may not be a bad idea, its where I'm
already headed with T5.extend(). It will help with modularity and
namespace management.
It will be interesting to experiment ... for example, perhaps
requireJS would be the only JS in full page render, and would be
responsible for bringing in core.js and other main modules. Or,
perhaps, requireJS would simply be another JS rolled into the core
stack.
Intuitively, bootstrapping using requireJS (the first option) would
lead to fast page load times. We will need to update the solution
that deals with premature clicks/form submits, etc.
