There's no real reason to support them.

Script-inserted scripts always run async; the only reason to be able to set async (to false) is to enforce execution in insertion order.

As for 'defer', it only affects elements that are "parser inserted", not those inserted by scripts, so it's pointless to set it from GWT.

See https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/script

That said, I'm not aware of any plan to add support for async.

Also, is it true that since the injected script in ScriptInjector is of type 'text/javascript' , browsers will hold the execution of the UI-Thread until that script is loaded because of a potential 'document.write()'?

No. Script-inserted scripts are always async.

BTW, the type of the script only affects whether the script will run or not, depending on whether or not it's understood by the browser.

 

If so, is the Code Splitting Feature of Gwt also affected by this, since it uses ScriptInjector internally?
