Question: should we put the modules in another repository? about ark HOT 6 CLOSED

I agree !

Maybe an ArkScript package manager made in the language once we have a complete support of argument parsing and a working network module (see #74)

The main problem would be the hosting of this manager
If we want to do the package manager, the modules needs to be hosted somewhere
If a two ideas :
The modules are all stocked on a website/API to grab with the package manager

Or it uses an API that redirect to the github repo of the module and then it clone/download the repo

The first solution will need more resources and a server on which the modules are hosted m

the modules needs to be hosted somewhere

I could easily order a VPS with about 500GB of storage for that, thanks to the prices being very low. What would be induced by doing this would be that we would need a team of reviewers for modules, to avoid "bad" modules (like we can find on NPM sometimes, eg "is this variable a number/bool..."), but that's still doable.

While the language is small it will be doable

We just need some rules for the modules to be accepted
