ECMAScript.Next Modules

ecmascript.next_modules.js

// Current way of doing modules, you have to expose it via a return statement to make it public.
var Thing = (function(){
    function getStuff(){ alert('Stuff retrieved!');
    return {
        getStuff: getStuff
    }
})();

// ECMAScript.Next proposal... adding "export" will make functions public. 
// I wonder why they didn't just call it "public function".. export sounds like I'm downloading or something. Meh.
module Thing {
    export function getStuff(){ alert('Stuff retrieved!'); }
}
