    In August I finished the module system for Imp. I’ve been designing Imp from the start to support the programmer’s confidence in their code, and the module system is no different. Imp is based on the JVM so each file eventually becomes one (or more) classes but that’s abstracted away from the user. This sub’s Discord has been so helpful for asking people about these concepts and for opinions on my design decisions.
