Emacs Lisp shorthands as namespacing system

Using / has one major disadvantage. You can’t name macros w/stdin, w/stdout, w/file, etc.

It’s short for “with-“. It’s only a few characters, but it adds up.

Admittedly it’s more important in arc, where brevity is a feature, not a bug.

On the other hand, having a full separator for the namespace is worthwhile. One idea I toyed with is:

my-func@pkg

So the namespace is on the right, not the left.

But I decided this is even worse, even if it does match e.g. how we ssh into things.

Ultimately it’s hard to beat a global namespace with prefixing conventions.

Now that I think about it, I really should set up a "snippet" to type this for me:

  import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
  import numpy as np
  import pandas as pd

  import anyNamespace from 'module.js'
  import { subModule } from 'module.js'
  import { subModule as anyName } from 'module.js'

  import qualified Foo.Bar as Baz

  (import (prefix (rename #;from (rnrs r5rs)
                                 (delay #;as eval-later)
                                 (force #;as eval-now))
                   r5rs:))
