I can have lay load too with yuno ... nobody prevents you to do this
function Whatever(){}
Whatever.prototype.loadModule = function (callback) {
yuno.use("requiredModule", callback);
};
// it could also be directly ...
Whatever.prototype.load = yuno.use;
// in order to be able to load anything needed later
// this won't be compatible with the smart builder though
Above code is already compatible with yuno for browsers ... I keep saying
that both CommonJS require and AMD define do not scale well with all
scenarios:
1. smart build with possibility to create single package "all included"
without code size overhead
2. interoperability between formats
3. backward compatibility with older script that do not export anything
yuno can be shimmed for node.js without effort and be used as AMD loader
with few changes ... the missing part I am working on is the smart builder
but I believe I'll do this in two steps ... still in progress, that's why
I'd like to have feedbacks now
