Re: [Haskell-cafe] Syntax extension - adding import support to let/where bindings

I meant that as a top-level syntactic thing, to avoid writing "import CSS" in the let/where blocks, for multiple top-level definitions that use the same import. Just premature bikeshed :-) On 06/08/2015 12:15 AM, "Oliver Charles" wrote:

This would be really handy to have. You could also have import "blocks", like

import Foo in { ... }

Where {...} is a new layout block, I guess.

Is *let* not exactly this block feature?

Indeed, in my post I use let bindings to achieve this:

let import CSS in [ width (px 50) ]

You could also add other local bindings to your scope:

let import CSS sizeInPx = px 50 in [ width sizePx, height sizeInPx ]

(Note that just like let the other bindings have access to the symbols that were imported)
