Sorry, Nicolas, you are quite wrong. The difference is that using RenderSupport. addScript() you are adding raw JavaScript that gets executed when the page loads.
When using RenderSupport.addInit() you are referencing client-side functions, defined on the Tapestry.Initializer object, to be executed with a set of parameters. Note 1: You should be using JavaScriptSupport in Tapestry 5.2 which is a replacement for RenderSupport (which is deprecated). Note 2: Using RenderSupport.addInit() / JavaScriptSupport.addInitializerCall() allows you to write the bulk of your page initialization as a static JavaScript library, with just a minimal amount of per-page initialization. You also get some control over when that initialization occurs, and you get (for free) some exception catching and reporting if the initialization fails. Having big blocks of JavaScript as ugly literals inside a Tapestry page is a design smell: it should be turned into client-side JS in a library, and calls to JavaScriptSupport.addInitializerCall().
