I stumbled into this while implementing support for directories... I hadn't really considered the full constraints and requirements until @Aurélien Geron shared this issue https://github.com/roc-lang/roc/issues/10489
So I spent some time trying to scope out the space and think through what would naturally fit Roc.
@Richard Feldman how do you feel about introducing new syntax / in import statements?
Richard Feldman (Jul 31 2026 at 13:19):this looks great! I'd been thinking along very similar lines, although I didn't think of the "leading / means package root dir" idea - but I like it!
Richard Feldman (Jul 31 2026 at 13:20):only thing I'd change is the migration plan. I think we should just switch completely over to the desired semantics as a breaking change.
