If you think about it, smurf namespacing is much simpler thus more elegant than a "real" namespace system.

  In one sense, yes, but in another no. The main problem is that one can get real long names.

    Depending on your philosophy, that may be a feature to you. I tend to like this effect, because it forces the programmer to avoid building deeply nested structures, which is too easy to do when you abuse modules/namespaces.
    • cjfd 7y ago
      That is a valid point. There is a tendency for things to go the java way.

        Because long names in Java meant avoiding deep nesting?
