First Steps
It's time to start thinking about things we can implement today that set us up for some of the bigger ideas we've been talking about in this repo. After a nice lunch with @piscisaureus and @jasnell these two materialized as obvious requirements.
- Support and implement localized installs of node.
- Implement
import
w/o any stdlib.
Localized installations of node are going to help us move faster in general and make it much easier for people to build applications that use new experiments without overwriting their global install.
Supporting the import syntax is obviously going to be part of a future platform. We should probably put this behind a flag at first. import
should not expose any of the current stdlib, that should only be accessible through require()
but having native import w/o a stdlib opens up the possibility of people experimenting with and writing new possible stdlib modules in the ecosystem.
Thoughts?
