Why do we need modules at all? (2011)


bility to replace code in a running environment depends, to my knowledge, on modules. So modules prevent downtimes and allow 7/24 operation.

To me, this makes it feel like namespace management/giving aliases and replacement of values should be managed from the release point of view, but I can't offer any suggestions as to how this could take place without relying on file renaming and strict use of ?NAMESPACE-like macros throughout the code.

Very interesting idea - there was once a pascal pretty printer that analysed your codeand inferred the style that you preferred - "Umm this guy likes semi-colons at the end of line ..." they in applied it to code you hadn't written.
