Let's talk about modules!

Listen "Let's talk about modules!"

Episode Synopsis

I start Chapter 13 (in Season 2) of the podcast, on module systems.  Almost all programming languages I know include some kind of scheme for modules, packages, namespaces, or something like this.  I discuss the high-level ideas of namespace management and type abstraction, two main use cases for module systems.  Subsequent episodes will discuss module systems (from papers or documentation) of various languages.
