Re: Do you currently use namespaces?
Bernie:
The question as posed is similar to "Have you stopped beating your wife?"
Perhaps what should have been asked is: "If namespaces worked properly, would
you be using them?" But that is still not 100%.
Some people would say no, because the type of programs they write can be written
without resorting to namespaces, for whatever reason. Perhaps they write short
utility programs where everything can easily be put in one file. Perhaps they
are
incredibly organized and can manage huge monolithic files without a problem.
Some people would say no because they don't realize how useful namespaces can
be, they're used to muddling along with euphoria as it is.
Neither of those "noes" should be taken as a rational reason to avoid
implementing
real namespacing. That would only hurt those of us who do not fall into one
of the above categories.
So, perhaps if it were asked again, the answers should be less terse.
1. No, I don't see the need, and I don't think anyone else should either.
2. No, I don't see the need, wouldn't use 'em, but it's OK if others do.
3. Yes, I would use them if they worked.
4. Yes, I use them even though they are incomplete and awkward sometimes.
5. Yes, they work exactly the way I like them to work.Don't change a thing.
Maybe a couple more?
