— Closures are a form of dependency, better to make most things explicit
This:createLogWriter(<fs-instance>)
Is much better than:createLogWriter() // calls require('fs') internally
— ?
— Since when did non-determinism enter the stage? Optional modules? That's waay different than what I'm talking about
— Okay
— Yes, that still makes it a dependency
— What's your point?
— It can reduce both size and dependency
— For the sake of this discussion, vulnerability == dependency
— In an hour I can write up a comprehensive example
— Module systems are imho overkill for most web sites. Oh and webapps that take minutes to load are shit anyways, regardless of whether they use a module system or not. Imo module systems are just convenient, not more and not less
— I'm not saying it will be less code
