Hi everyone, happy mid-October! So excited Halloween is just around the corner. I’m a new face around here but you’ll be seeing me and my lil’ rat avatar around.
Stay spooky!
, Excited to see you around
Did I really just see require-by-string? Let’s go, it’s another huge W in another release note!

Has there been any word on how this is implemented? Is it path based, or is it unique file name based like Overture?

Since it’s said “preliminary support”, so I believe it’s still in the early stages and I expect to see an announcement for this.

This has been an improved RFC Require by String with Relative Paths | Luau RFCs I’m glad they’re now doing it.

It’s been discussed a bit in the Roblox Open Source Software (ROSS) discord server.
It’s path based! No idea what the limitations are though. I imagine if nothing else it’ll have to be a unique name per module.

I imagine it’d work the same way it works for Lune, where it’d work like require("@lune/roblox") as an example.

Why didn’t you make it so that require can take an instance or a string?
So far, lots of datatypes have constructors that have the same name, but take different parameters. You have achieved polymorphism but yet the name of the function is require-by-string, which looks not right
