> I know that this post is quite simple and for this reason it's also useful and understandable (congratulations on that), but doesn't feel strange to find it in the top posts?

> Don't get me wrong, I like the thing to be inspired by these simple articles, but I seem to only find this kind of "difficulty" these days...

> Informative article, and a nice read!
>
> Something else worth mentioning, is that you have the ability to create script tags programmatically with JavaScript and insert them into the DOM while also being able to add custom logic to event handlers as well -- which is pretty neat!
>
> Useful for situations when you're not sure what to load until runtime, or you need to implement custom initialization logic for a plugin.
>
> Also don't forget the multitude of attributes you could add to the script tag such as 'defer' and 'async' which also help with page load times.
