We had a good discussion about modules at this week's meeting, and Sam
Tobin-Hochstadt and I have worked out a strawman for a simple module system.
I've posted a first draft to the wiki:
http://wiki.ecmascript.org/doku.php?id=strawman:simple_modules
There are lots of examples to peruse at:
http://wiki.ecmascript.org/doku.php?id=strawman:simple_modules_examples
which might also be a decent starting point to get a feel for the design.
This has a good bit of overlap with -- and is in many ways inspired by -- Ihab
and Chris's work, but it has at least one major departure: modules in this
proposal are not inherently first class values, although we do provide ways of
getting objects that reflect the contents of modules.
This is just a draft, and we'll be revising it as we go along. But I'm happy to
take any feedback people have. Also, please let me know what's unclear. I'll
try to both clarify on es-discuss and revise the page accordingly.
Dave
