    No, it’s now officially useless.

    The type attribute gives the language of the script or format of the
    data. If the attribute is present, its value must be a valid MIME
    type. The charset parameter must not be specified. The default, which
    is used if the attribute is absent, is “text/javascript”.

    Simply do

    <script src=yourpath.js></script>

    (yes, you can omit the quotes too)

    Note that you don’t have to worry about pre-HTML5 browsers, all of them always considered JavaScript to be the default script language.
