Julia allows you to have submodules; you can collect some of your tiny
packages into MyUtilityPackages
(sketched, not run)
module MyUtilityPackages
module StringUtilities
export stringfunction
function stringfunction .. end
end
module IntegerUtilities
export integerfunction
include("integers/MoreIntegerUtilities.jl") # in the subdirectory
integers, relative to the directory the outer module lives
end
end # MyUtilityPackages
module MyBigPackage
using MyUtilityPackages.StringUtilities
using MyUtilityPackages.IntegerUtilities
...
end
