That would be the idea indeed. I haven’t found any advantage of matchMedia over a $(window).width(), it doesn’t make the code any shorter and if I’m not mistaken it will return dimensions that have the scrollbars included like with normal media queries. For me that’s a decisive drawback.

Thinking about it though, I’m not so sure an extra request (loading the script conditionally) is very necessary. A large script might make a difference but with this minor amount of code I’d just incorporate any queries inside it. Making the conditional loading dependent on resizing may overcomplicate as well.
