type LoadDynamicFn ¶

type LoadDynamicFn struct {
}

Implements the load_dynamic() built-in.

Most programming languages only support static import - where the module being loaded and the local variables being bound must be determinable at compile-time (i.e., without executing the code).

Dynamic import tends to be fairly contentious. Here's a good discussion on the topic:

https://github.com/tc39/proposal-dynamic-import

(TC39 - the JavaScript committee - is a generally good resource for programming language theory discussion, because there are so many open-source implementations of the core language.)

load_dynamic() provides a dynamic import, with semantics similar to nodejs require(), where it returns a dictionary of symbols that can be introspected on. It does no binding of local variables.
