[REBOL] Building scripts
From: brett::codeconscious::com at: 16-Jan-2002 22:34
Currently for my various rebsite scripts I use load-thru as a way of
re-using code.
Sometimes I think it would be nice to have all functions contained within a
single script, but obviously maintenance would be a pain. Rugby's build idea
attracted me. It might be nice to have a library of code snippets which can
be assembled/generated into scripts on demand. Ie reuse of code via direct
inclusion. One advantage over my current re-use technique would be that the
scripts would only instantiate what was required to make them run rather
than, as is now, potentially creating functions, etc that are never
evaluated.
Directly including code is not for every system, but for many situations has
very useful properties. Given that Rebol scripts are destined to fly over
the net such a system would be quite useful.
