Modules

---

Modules are files that contains Lingua Machina code. When importing values from a module, a path relative to the root of the project is used. A module object is instantiated for every loaded module. This object is responsible of import/export. Code in modules is executed once and the module exports are cached.

Objects import

module import: 'core/io/fs/File;
module import: 'core/io/fs/Directory as: 'Dir;

Objects exports

Object subclass: 'Hello;
pleaseRename := 1337;

module export: Hello;
module export; pleaseRename as: 'Renamed;

Example
