Nice Sergey! So, you're using .get() to check if the file exists and .getScript() to check to see if it can be executed/loaded without errors?

Yes. As I recall, this approach does have limitations: you won't be able to load many scripts in this way --- if I remember correctly, because of cross-domain scripting restrictions.

The problem with using jQuery (or another library) is that you need to first load that library. So how do you check if that library failed to load?

I've taken this approach as well, but I recommend using cache:true for the $.getScript call (this is off by default). This way, for most requests, it automatically uses the cached version for the getScript call (saving you latency)
