- A tree shaker would definitely be a BIG plus in my mind.
-
- The other ideas sound good, but one little mistake would lead to version
- control nightmares; which is not to say don't do them, but take the time to
- do them right. :-)
- One suggestion I would have is that at any given time, any app should be
- able to quickly list what modules have been loaded. I have already
- uploaded one module to the archive, only to find that it used an internal
- module that wasn't ready for release. [Ok, so I'm just an idiot.] With
- shared libraries tucked away in the System folder somewhere, this could
- only get worse.
-
- Also, I'm not sure what problem the latter two are intended to solve. Most
- developers have hardware that can handle the size needed by MCL; it's the
- end-user that requires a reasonably sized app.
