I've been reading the newsgroup for a while, and it seems that one of
the reason folks like D is because it supports module.
My question is: what does module mean?
A quick google pointed my this page: http://dlang.org/module.html.
Still cannot understand it, though :)
How does it differ from the old C's #include?
For example, consider the hello world in C.
#include <stdio.h>
int main(void){
printf("%s\n", "Hello world...");
return 0;
}
The C preprocessor while replace the line "#include <stdio.h>" with the
content of stdio.h itself.
While in D:
import std.stdio;
void main(){
writeln("Hello world...");
}
Does that mean the compiler take the "definition" of writeln itself from
stdio.d and paste it into my program? Pardon my ignorance, because I'm
not versed in compiler theory.
