You can do shit like that in Lisp
Well, you could, but I don't think it would be implicit. Unless you coded it yourself, at which point it's not really any better than doing a try..except ImportError.
but GWEEDO doesn't seem to get the concepts required to make something like that possible.
It's more likely that he just doesn't think it's a good idea, hell, I don't think it's a good idea. His decisions can mostly be summed up in the
``zen of python
'' [1]. Telling the interpreter which modules your using, makes it easier on both the interpreter and, at least in my opinion, the person reading the code. I like your idea about attempting to import the modules before the dot, but it would add unnecessary cruft to a language that is already slow enough and doesn't enough of a benefit.
