10. Modules & System Integration

Aergia code can load external resources either from separate .aer files or tap natively directly into Python’s vast package index.

+> expr prefix Open Import: Parses and executes an external .aer source file path.
+< expr prefix Closed Import: Parses and executes an external .aer source file path, mapping its internal namespace elements cleanly behind a safety string prefix: prefix.module_item.
*> module Open Python Import: Imports a native Python module directly into the global execution namespace.
*< module prefix Closed Python Import: Imports a native Python module and maps its internal namespace elements in the same way that normal closed imports do: prefix.module_item.
; expr Eval Execution: Evaluates raw string sequences directly as Aergia source tokens at runtime.
~> expr Exit Engine: Halts the interpreter process immediately with the status code provided by expr.

Examples

# Import local helper library
+> "utils.aer"

# Native Open Python Import
*> math
= root_val @sqrt:16:  # Access via global env

# Closed Python Import
*< random rand
# Available via custom namespace binding
= roll @rand.randint:1 6:

# Evaluate code directly from a string sequence
; "= dynamic 100"

# Stop execution and exit immediately with status 0
