Import System

The use statement imports functions and values from packages.

Why this exists​

Imports allow code to access functionality from other packages without global namespace pollution.

How it works​

Use specifies a package name and optionally a list of items to import. Imported items become available in the current scope.

Examples​

# Import specific items
use math { pi, sin, cos }
say sin(pi/2)  # 1

# Import all from package
use string-utils { * }
set result = capitalize("hello")

# Import with alias
use complex-math { add as complexAdd }
set sum = complexAdd(a, b)

Common mistakes​

  • Forgetting to import required functions
  • Import conflicts between packages
  • Using incorrect package names
