Yes, that looks right, I also remember a reference to the 'dot' notation where namespace access would be arbitrated implicitly by objects representing the '.' It may have been in one of Lars Hansen papers on gradual typing. In any case there was some good discussion on meta-level objects and controlling capabilities or access.
Was there any discussion in the past about parameterized modules or units where recursively nested modules/units were brought up? If two modules refer to each other and all imports are resolved eagerly then I think this would be a problem where use cases would abound. thx Kam ________________________________ From: Brendan Eich <[email protected]> To: Kam Kasravi <[email protected]> Cc: [email protected]; kkasravi <[email protected]>; es-discuss <[email protected]> Sent: Mon, January 18, 2010 12:23:46 AM Subject: Re: Module system strawpersons On Jan 15, 2010, at 1:32 PM, Kam Kasravi wrote: Brendan, do you recall es4 where the concept of a unit was introduced? >There was also some discussion where management and security >where implicitly mapped to the '.' between identifier parts.
