Modules & Imports

Explicit imports

All imports must name exactly which symbols they use:

from "std/http" import { Context, Response, Router, serveRouter }
from "std/json" import { jsonParse, Json }
from "lib/math" import { add, multiply }

No wildcard imports, no bare import "path". The LSP autocompletes both module paths and symbol names.

Standard library

from "std/io" import { readFile, writeFile }
from "std/fs" import { readDir, fileInfo }
from "std/net" import { fetch }
from "std/argparse" import { newParser }

How it works

Imports are resolved recursively and deduplicated. The resolver merges all imported ASTs before type checking — there's no separate compilation yet.

Platform-specific modules use suffix-based selection: std/platform.darwin.milo vs std/platform.linux.milo. The resolver picks the right one for your host.
