Hey Stanislav, I think the issue is that of confusion. When I first heard PHP6 was going to have namespaces, I was expecting namespaces like C++ or C#. What was actually provided was confusing, at first, because it didn't behave like "namespaces" in other languages that I've used.
Personally, I don't care what the name is, as long as the feature is implemented. But, coming from a background in C++ and C#, I do believe that the "namespaces" name is a bit misleading. Calling the implementation "packages" would make more logical sense. All that matters now is that it gets implemented, really. My two cents. Thanks. --- Jeremy Privett Software Developer Zend Certified Engineer Peak8 Solutions -----Original Message----- From: Stanislav Malyshev [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, August 10, 2007 10:30 AM To: Derick Rethans Cc: Dmitry Stogov; 'Johannes Schlьter'; 'PHP Internals List' Subject: Re: [PHP-DEV] Renaming namespaces to packages > Well, our implementation is not namespaces, "packet" doesn't have any Where I can see definition of what is "namespaces" and what is not? I can live with "packages", though I like this name less - but what I don't really understand is why anything that doesn't work like c++ namespaces can't now be named "namespaces" - do they have a trademark on it or what? -- Stanislav Malyshev, Zend Software Architect [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.zend.com/ (408)253-8829 MSN: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
