[17:18] <peter_12> has there been any more talk about packaging/distribution for Helma NG?
[17:19] <zumbrunn> no, we just need to catch up with you on the mailing list :-)
[17:19] <zumbrunn> hannes probably is thinking about it and trying things
[17:20] <zumbrunn> since for example he worked on implementing js 1.8 functionality in rhino
[17:20] <zumbrunn> like destructuring assignments, which where mentioned in context of the import() syntax
[17:21] <zumbrunn> and I assume he'll join in on the mailing list again after his experimentations
[17:24] <zumbrunn> of course, the syntax/sugar of how the module system is used and the way it is implemented are two completely different topics anyway
[17:25] <zumbrunn> regarding the implementation there haven't really been any proposals yet, right?
[17:27] <zumbrunn> for example this here:
[17:27] <zumbrunn> http://helma.org/pipermail/helma-cvs/2008-September/012272.html
[17:32] <zumbrunn> from the syntax/sugar point of view, in the context of rhino, I still believe making javascript modules behave similar to packages would be a consistent approach
[17:34] <zumbrunn> of course, I know that the similarities only go so long... "leaky abstractions" and all that
[17:34] <zumbrunn> but like there is a Packages object now, there could be a Modules object
[17:35] <zumbrunn> and accessing properties of that object could do all the woodoo of loading the modules
[17:35] <zumbrunn> and handling dependencies
[20:18] <peter_12> zumbrunn: I'm reading your replies in the hopbot transcript. Handy tool.
