Modules #

Slow supports importing objects and functions from other Slow files or from built-in modules via the module type. modules are frozen; that is, new variables can’t be declared in them nor can variables be rebound. A module can be created using the import function and variables in its environment can be accessed use dot syntax.

For example, to import a module from another Slow file:

# logging.slo
func info(s) {
  print(s)
}

const logging = import("logging.slo")

logging.info("successfully imported logging.slo")

Or, to import a built-in module:

const fs = import("fs")

print(fs.read("foo.txt"))
