       @lunareclipse is there a technical reason header files should be obsolete?

       @f00fc7c8@kind.social I'm pretty sure the original purpose of them was to declare functions and such on machines with extremely limited RAM.Nowadays there seems to be no reason to duplicate your work by having header files at all, and no modern language uses them.

       @lunareclipse @f00fc7c8 I'm all for taking language in this direction but at this pace we will remove headers around 2045 (and that's a good thing)
