Rename repo to proposal-import-function-like? #14

Closed domenic closed 8 years ago

domenic commented 8 years ago

The name of this proposal is import(). But people need an alphanumeric name for URLs and babel plugins and such. I think "import-function" might be misleading since it's not a function. Perhaps "import-function-like" would be better? Suggestions welcome.

Maybe "import-call"

matthewrobb commented 8 years ago

import-invoke ?

import-parens?

klzns commented 8 years ago

I think the thing that's most valuable of this import, is it dynamic or async feature. So maybe:

dynamic-import or async-import

Considering this is a syntax feature then perhaps name it import-expression

Thanks for the suggestions all! I liked most of them, and in the end "dynamic import" resonated with me the most.
