I’ve used languages with namespaces for many years. I don’t find multi-level
namespaces to be much of an improvement over a single-level namespace in most
cases. On the contrary, I find it much simpler to avoid hunting around
importing a hundred namespaces. This is what you end up with:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Runtime.Serialization;
using System.ServiceModel;
using System.ServiceModel.Web;
using System.Text;
using System.Data;
using System.Data.SqlClient;
using System.Web;
using System.Net <http://system.net/>;
using System.Net <http://system.net/>.HttpClient;
The only thing we really need in Swift is the ability to have a Private
submodule, especially for mixed-mode frameworks.
