Now my concern is that if I'm building an application (my ultimate goal) am I going to have to re-work everything once a module system gets implemented.
As long as you are just importing and exporting identifyers across module boundaries, you're just using a namespaces system of some sort.
Right right, that makes sense.
Thus the switch to Snow! should (aside from changing to portable libraries) just be one of using a different import/export declaration; someone might even write a converter between ##namespace and Snow! (and chjmodule) modules.
Just to clarify, you're suggesting I use the Snow system _as a module system_? That I write my libraries as Snow packages, etc? Joel -- Joel J.
