Laudible but difficult to acheive goal of building a trustable "zero-knowledge" pure javascript program. Current browsers just have some many ways to unintentially run code that isnt' "reviewable" by the user.
I think it's a fine idea to encrypt locally, and store only encrypted data. But I think in practice, the user ends up having to trust the entire system of components - including the server. He can't, after all, do a complete security review every time a new version of the javascript application is loaded from the server.
Quoted: A zero-knowlege web application knows nothing of its users and their data. This is a first definition of a new methodology.

I like Google's method of doing "AJAX" APi calls. The REST request is made by setting a callback (function name), and context (string). When the SCRIPT tag is returned, it will call your function:
callback(context, response, status, error-string)
Allows for multiple outstanding calls at one time and to hook up the correct response with the correct caller.

The author claims that javascript files are loaded synchronously - but you can get them to load in parrallel, thus speeding up your page load.
Would be interesting to test this out to see if it really works.

Some interesting javascript sample code for delay loading script. I would prefer a callback notification included in the pattern when the script has loaded (rather than polling as is done here (un-safely).

Article on widget load time performance.
Quoted: A single line of JavaScript is what powers a lot of blogging technologies these days. Widgets, sharing tools, visitors tracking, advertisers. In many cases a single line ...

Quoted: Devi's concerned about initial user experience, because her new website requires lots of Javascript. She refactors the application, extracting out a few Javascript modules. The initial page load is now much faster, because only a bare-bones initialisation module is pulled down, with the other modules loaded only when they're needed.
