Just to clarify, you're suggesting I use the Snow system _as a module system_? That I write my libraries as Snow packages, etc?
I have not yet written any Snow package yet, so I can't tell how well that works for development (as opposed to distribution).
Well, one of the reasons I switched from PLT Scheme was that PlaneT packages did not seem a good fit for distribution: any user would have to get PLT Scheme and PlaneT
That's not the case for module-based programs. When you create a distribution (via DrScheme's "Create Executable" menu item or via `mzc --exe' plus `mzc --exe-dir'), then all needed binaries, libraries, Planet packages, etc., are assembled into the distribution. The end user of a distribution won't have to download anything else or connect to the Planet server.
Good to know; I guess I or the person who informed me otherwise had ill communication. Joel -- Joel J.
