Super tiny JS loader

loadjs.js

// {String}  f File name
// {Boolean} c Condition
// {undefined} [l,j,s] Shortcut for var.
var loadjs = function(f,c,l,j,s,a) {
    a = ((typeof f == 'object')? f : []);
    f = ((typeof f == 'undefined') ? '' :
        ((typeof f == 'object') ? 
          ((typeof f[0] !== 'undefined')? f[0] : '')
        : f));
    l = f.length;

    if ( c && f.substring(l - 3, l) === ".js") {
        j = document.createElement('script');
        j.type = 'text/javascript';
        j.src = f;
        j.async = false;
        
        s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0];
        s.parentNode.insertBefore(j, s);
    }

    if (a.length > 0) { a.shift(); loadjs(a,true); }

    return j;
};

Micro optimizations FTW!

TSH. the entire "check if j is undefined" was unnecessary-- it hasn't been added to the DOM yet, and createElement is a blocking operation. So, j is inherently completed by the time s has to execute. Twas no micro optimization!

Also, the var statements were litered through scopes and would have been hoisted anyway-- I bumped it to the top of the function, then optimized it further.

f would sometimes throw an error if there was nothing plugged in. for the purpose of not borking code, I fixed it to include a type comparison and defaults.

f also supports an array in the style of ['filename.js','filename.js'] to be input.

Finally, just for usability, we return the script element appended. Fun!
