Use JavaScript modules from other sites

I am searching for a way to dynamically require some useful MediaWiki modules from an external project, specifically toollabs:dewkin. The parts most concerned with my purpose are mediawiki.api, mediawiki.jqueryMsg and mediawiki.language (for PLURAL parsing). Is there a simple way to load them with all dependencies (via https://bits.wikimedia.org/www.mediawiki.org/load.php) and actually use them without having to load the entire "mediawiki" module? Or is it worth reimplementing the whole stuff?

This is unofficial, but I'd recommend trying it like this:


<head>
  <meta charset="utf-8">
  <title>Example</title>
  <link rel=stylesheet href="myapp.css">
  <script src="//bits.wikimedia.org/www.mediawiki.org/load.php?lang=en&amp;modules=startup&amp;only=scripts"></script>
</head>
<body>
 <div class="mw-body-content">
   ..
 </div>
 ...
 <script src="myapp.js">
  // Skip unsupported browsers or in case of an error
  if (!window.mw) { return; }
  // Load these modules first, as needed by "MYAPP.init()".
  mw.loader.using(['mediawiki.api', 'mediawiki.jqueryMsg'], MYAPP.init);
 </script>
</body>
