Be careful with dynamic-require; it uses (current-namespace), which is
not necessarily the same namespace that the enclosing module was loaded
in. Specifically, you might get a different module registry, which can
lead to multiple module instantiations, which can lead to problems with
generative structs, etc.
Also, with plain dynamic-require, if you build an executable ("raco
exe") it probably won't include the dynamically-required module.
I recommend using lazy-require (from unstable/lazy-require) instead. It
handles both the namespace issue and the "raco exe" issue automatically.
That is teh awesomes, so I've changed it. I had a couple other uses of
dynamic-require, so I changed them to top-level lazy-requires as well.
Any plans to support other kinds of objects than functions?
I could add support for binding a thunk on the client side that gets the
value of a variable on the server side. For example:
(module a racket
(define x 1)
(provide x))
(lazy-require
['a
(get-x #:get x)])
(get-x) ; => 1
I could make it even more transparent using an identifier macro; for
example, x could expand into (get-x). It would change the behavior for
functions from the current force-on-apply behavior to
force-on-reference. I haven't decided whether I like that, yet.
I could implement both and let people vote with their keyboards :)
It will not work for macros. There are both superficial and deep reasons
why not, and I hope to finish writing them up soon. ("Variable-like"
macros are okay, like struct constructors and contracted exports.)
