But why not to just lift the requirement for modules to return a true value? "require" documentation says "The file must return true as the last statement to indicate successful execution of any initialization code". But, well, has anybody ever returned a false value on purpose in order to signal a failed initialization? Why would you want to do that when you can just call "die" with a proper error message? It looks to me that this feature was more of an implementation detail showing up than anything else.Thread Previous | Thread Next
