Food for thought: another import alternative #3

Many moons ago, some proposal or other came up for better imports. I agree it would be nice to have a better syntax, and I like the idea here. :) I had time to think about it back then, and I wrote down my thoughts here: https://github.com/chreekat/blatherings/blob/master/haskell-imports.md#alternate-proposal-2

In case 'require' ends up needing the full power of 'import' (which wouldn't surprise me), maybe the description at that link can spark ideas.

Great, thanks! The idea behind require is to be as simple as possible, so you dont need that much stuff as a regular import.

But you are probably right, maybe having requires and imports in the same file would look strange.

This is food for thought indeed 😄
