This is literally just
using universe.mega_corp.finance_dept.team_alpha;
Every argument made quickly becomes invalid because in any sufficiently complex project, the function naming scheme will end up replicating a module/namespace system.
- greener_grass 2y agoVery few languages let you have multiple versions of the same package in one project; fewer let you use functions from both versions together; and even fewer make this easy! This is something that would be enabled with hash identifiers and no modules: let foo_1 = universe.mega_corp.finance_dept.team_alpha@v1.0.0.foo let foo_2 = universe.mega_corp.finance_dept.team_alpha@v2.0.0.foo let compare_old_new_foo(x) = foo_2(x) - foo_1(x) There would be a corresponding lock-file to make this reproducible: { "universe.mega_corp.finance_dept.team_alpha": { "v1.0.0": "aabbcc", "v2.0.0": "xxyyzz" } } I think this is pretty neat!
