Hi folks, I would like to summarize some of what we talked about regarding the ES-next module system in our recent f2f.
* Everyone agrees that modularity is the one big remaining item we would like to move to proposal status, and that we would consider ES-next incomplete without a solution. Everyone understands that people today are using static <script> tags, and roll-your-own module systems using XHR and dynamic <script> tags, at the cost of much unnecessary boilerplate, duplication of effort and lack of standardization. * Everyone agrees that Sam and Dave's Simple Modules strawman is an excellent point from which to start building consensus towards a proposal. I will be raising some issues on this list to try and achieve this consensus. To that end, I would encourage anyone who has not read (or re-read, in the past 2 weeks or so) Sam and Dave's strawman writeups to become familiar with them: http://wiki.ecmascript.org/doku.php?id=strawman:simple_modules http://wiki.ecmascript.org/doku.php?id=strawman:simple_modules_examples http://wiki.ecmascript.org/doku.php?id=strawman:module_loaders Thanks, Ihab -- Ihab A.B.
