Thoughts for Dev Call - 16 Apr 2023

[richb-hanover]

@max-sixty Regrettably, I will miss the Dev Call today. Here are the questions I would ask:

• Review of questions in the Expressions and Operators page in docs: Another approach for combining Expressions & Parentheses #2460
• Rebuild VS Code extension to incorporate the 0.8.0 language changes
• I have a question about thoughts for modules. Will this be a simple #include facility that simply inserts the text of the included file at the point in the PRQL file? Or will there be some deeper understanding of what modules might entail. (I could live with the former. Links to any proposals (half-baked or not) would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Thanks!

Rebuild VS Code extension to incorporate the 0.8.0 language changes

Great — dependabot will come along and bump it soon; if anyone wants it earlier then PRs are welcome...

* I have a question about thoughts for _modules_. 

Still very active discussion at #2129 on how this works. There's lots there, no super easy to engage with at this point, but also difficult to compress given there is actually a lot there. #2129 (comment) is probably the most relevant thread. Productively engaging does require understanding the tradeoffs of the current proposals
