This could turn out to be incredibly powerful tooling for Javascript compilation.

I'm not a fan of Require-type systems because they introduce additional runtime behavior. With the proper dependency graph tools available at compile time, we could remove the need for AMD completely. This will reduce client overhead and boilerplate. (Granted, AMD boilerplate will be converted into a dependency graph spec. But it would be there regardless, and I am of the opinion that this is a superior form.)

Exciting times ahead...
