We do not want to have class name resolution at the granularity of a class.
Why because it means that in the same package reading the code containing a
class Foo could be a different one.
I'm saying that since years.
Now as I said our plate is FULL. If colin has cycle perfect for him.
Namespaces are not urgent.
So far we have on our roadmap
- new compiler
- cleaning it
- all the tools been rewritten
- new canvas
- new event
- systemNotification -> announcement
- package and package metadata
- UIBuilder
- FileSystem integration
- validation process of configuration and distributions
...
and I guess I forgot some works. So let us focus on finishing. Because starting
something is the easiest part.
Finishing is the key part. 5% but 80% of the importance because if the last 5%
are not done nothing is really done.
