Re: [Vala] How to use Posix namespace

[Diego Jacobi <jacobidiego gmail com>]

I have a question about this.

Why doesnt vala or genie implements the "importing" feature by code.
Than one will not need to add --pkg ...

Like the "import" and "require" of python.
Is this because of the "C# like language" limitation?

Cheers.
Diego
