1. A method, comprising: obtaining, via a processor within a module-based system, a virtual runtime module that omits an internal functional implementation of an associated executable module and that comprises a runtime-resolvable public interface of the associated executable module; resolving, using the runtime-resolvable public interface of the virtual runtime module, the virtual runtime module within the module-based system to satisfy dependencies associated with the executable module within the module-based system; and installing, during runtime using the resolved virtual runtime module, at least a portion of the internal functional implementation of the associated executable module within the module-based system.
