Alternative names to defmodulep (split thread)

And now that the repository is archived it will no longer be developed (although of course if it Apache v2.0 so you can fork and maintain it if you want).

I know is archived, sorry to have mislead you about my intentions in my question. I don’t want to use it directly, but instead my question intention was when could we expect it in Elixir itself.

I don’t think defmodulep was ever on a track to be generally available/used, it was created more as a proof of concept.

I though the repo for defmodulep was a playground for this proposal by Jose, but I noticed now that unfortunately it seems the preference goes to option A.

Any idea when Option A will be available in Elixir core?

But I think that Boundary - enforcing boundaries in Elixir projects is a more promising alternative so I’d recommend you take a look at that instead or develop a new library.

I am not planning in developing a new library at all, and I already know about Boundary, but I was really expecting to have private modules in Elixir. I would prefer this to be built-in in the language then enforced by a dependency.
