Synchronous XMLHttpRequest's can be useful when you want to block the script, for example when loading in modules from cache. Do not deprecate it! There could be an optional console warning if it's not loaded from cache though.

Even from the cache it's bad as I/O can be rather slow in general. Anyway, this is a duplicate of #20.

@annevk The push chache is really fast, and I/O is usually not the bottleneck now a days with fast ssd's and GbE. The latency should be below the monitor's refresh rate. But lets say you do load it async, you would still have to wait for it!

Yes, but at least the UI is not blocked.
