Hey, nice work on the Pluvo language. Language nuts
seem to want to fuse Lisp, Python, and Ruby, and
Pluvo looks like a step in that direction.

Regarding the @library syntax:

"These [library] functions are not loaded into
memory when a program starts, for speed and to
cut down on memory usage."

- Pluvo documentation

You can get around this is to either loading the
library functions on the first call to @foolibrary,
or by loading a bunch of proxy objects into memory
and loading the actual library object when the
proxy object is first used.

I coded this in Python...it's best explained
by an example:

Install module from http://tinyurl.com/jnjtj
>>> from autoimp import *
>>> urllib2.urlopen('http://www.google.com') # Module loaded
>>> urllib2.urlopen('http://www.yahoo.com') # Module already in memory

I use this even in my regular Python programs
now, as it saves significant time when I'm
just playing around with things.

Well, who knows if that would work with pluvo...
it was just an idea to throw out there.
