I'm reading CommonJS when I have time. This point has been made before: CommonJS folks have done heroic work building something on top of the language as it is. That's not good enough for the future, where we can do better by adding special forms that cannot be implemented using functions. And note Kris's reply: a preprocessor to prefetch is required, or else (a la RequireJS) require takes a callback. This is all "ok" and people are using such things today. There's no urgent need to standardize this kind of library code -- and we are not going to standardize a preprocessor. Pragmatic JS hackers have to play the game on the field of JS as it is implemented today, however tilted and bumpy. Simple modules aim to groom the playing field and move the goal posts by improving the core language. /be _______________________________________________ es-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/es-discuss
