I seriously dislike the absence of namespaces in Squeak/Pharo and I hate weird prefixes in front of class names.��

I am not a fan of using a column but I would like to have something ��like

Pharo Morphic Dialog open.��

instead of��

Pharo.Morphic.Dialog open��

but this second choice is even better than no namespaces at all, definitely preferable to��

MorphDialog open.��

The more Pharo grows will end up looking worse than Java. ����

�� �� ��I think Objective-C might have had one or two other forces behind

Sure. But not when it was at NeXT.��

�� �� ��For me this stuff isn't about being "enterprise-grade" or even
particularly sophisticated. It's rudimentary, like bothering to remember
where your car is parked. The lack of it is something that causes
potential participants I meet to stop listening, especially given the
power of the system in general. It's a strange discontinuity.

Looks like this thing as been discusses ad libitum in the past...��

I actually like this one:��http://swiki.krampe.se/gohu/32

Looks like no nonsense and not forcing anything down people throats.
