What has been the discussion if any about having "standard" libraries, with well-defined behavior and included in the engine, but which must be imported to use to avoid collisions and backward incompatibility? In theory the import could also result in new methods on standard prototypes. Eg
```js import 'std::Functional'; var _add = ((a, b) => a + b).currify(); import * as Fn from 'std::Functional'; var _add = Fn.currify((a, b) => a + b)); import currify from 'std::Functional'; var _add = currify((a, b) => a + b)); ``` This approach could also possibly be used for `Op`. -- Bob On Sat, Oct 17, 2015 at 2:17 AM, Michael McGlothlin < [email protected]> wrote: > Having Op for all operator functions would be a good call.
