Hangon - I thought a module was a separate namespace; and a way of partitioning programs into files. Can you be more specific in your criticisms?

- rspeer 12y agoYou and I might expect a module to be both of those things, probably based on experience with languages such as Python. Julia's position so far has been that files and modules are entirely unrelated to one another. Modules are namespaces, and files are messy things on a disk. Hooray! You can organize your code however you want! The problem is that I don't want to decide how to organize my code. I want to write the code to some best practices that have been thought up by someone who deeply understands their implications. Julia doesn't have these yet. I hope that it does one day.
