The only problem I see is that I don't know who owns ripgrep, so sticking some random name in front of it only adds to my confusion.
- burntsushi 4y agoYes. And the "random name" can be typo-squatted too. Compare burnsushi and burntsushi. I myself make that typo on occasion. :)
- lillecarl 4y agoPopular crates could be "symlinked" into a global verified namespace, problem solved? I can't see any downsides other than some extra administration perhaps.
- burntsushi 4y agoYes, you buried all of the very difficult parts of your suggestion in "extra administration." Who decides what's popular? Who decides when it isn't popular any more? Who decides who gets which name in the global namespace? I think I'm just going to refrain from talking about namespaces now. I tried to be super vague and just point out one thing that wasn't solved by namespaces (typo-squatting), but I've somehow gotten sucked into this discussion. No more. I'm done. Sorry, it isn't directed at you. Just tired of the discussion around namespaces and the neglect to account for the "admin" parts of it.
- return_to_monke 4y agoyup! And what if i reserve ripgrep/ripgrep as a typosquat, while the real one is burntsushi/ripgrep?
