Proposal: moving towards discoverable config files

I assumed you could just call that module and function from on_boot like:

on_boot do
  config :some, :config
  ...
  MyMod.some_call(some_args)
end

Good point and a nice trick, I love it

Of course having it in a module gives more structure than a script in config, but I wanted to point out that they allow/disallow the same patterns.

Yes, I didn’t envision for this to support different patterns than on_boot. It would be nice to have a bit of more structure, but I guess what @hubertlepicki suggests is a solid suggestion which doesn’t require any additional mechanisms, other than on_boot. I could just delegate to the desired module myself, and structure my code there, or I could use your approach and provide the app boot parameters in on_boot. I think I’d be fine with either.
