Hi Everyone - author here. I just wanted to give you some background on the project. JohnnyDepp came out of a feature request I got on another project called LoadJS (https://github.com/muicss/loadjs) which is an async loading library. The request was for a higher-level dependency manager that:

  1. lazy-loads files
  2. handles JS/CSS/images
  3. handles nested dependencies
  4. makes it easy to manage dependencies among team members
  5. is extremely lightweight

I realize that many teams use RequireJS to manage dependencies but I saw an opportunity to make a library that could accomplish many of the same things but with a much smaller footprint and a simpler API. I hope you'll give it a try and let me know what you think!
