 We can see two things by running the code above:
 
 1. The executor is called automatically and immediately (by `new Promise`).

 The new function `loadScript` will not require a callback. Instead, it will create and return a Promise object that resolves when the loading is complete. The outer code can add handlers (subscribing functions) to it using `.then`:
