B mynt syntax

Supported syntax · compiles today

myntload File(id)
let file = load File(456)
suitescriptoutput, trimmed
1const file = file$.load({2    id: 4563});

File is opaque so far: it can be loaded and held, but its contents and properties are not modeled yet, and it cannot be a function parameter. The module is bound as file$ so a local can be called file. In the compiler, not yet published: npm 0.1.0 does not have it. Verified with mynt build on 13 Oct 2026.

D suggest an alternative

Write the Mynt you wish you could write.

A good proposal shows the syntax, the SuiteScript it should become, and argues for it: why it is clearer, how it fits the rest of the language, what it makes harder.

  • Clarity. Does it say what happens, without ceremony?
  • Consistency. Does it read like load, save and Ref[field]?
  • Expressiveness. Does it cover the cases people actually write?
  • Honesty. Does it hide a NetSuite cost, such as governance, that a reader should see?
