Hello Stanislav, I use a broad variety of languages. And the older ones like C++ and Java are pretty distinctive. Namespaces have a dedicated range or space declared by curly braces and can contain other namespaces. Whileas Java packages are file wide. And actually that is much easier and quite what we want. We want this connection from a file to a namespace erm making a file giving a name prefix automatically. We do not want the confusion namespaces in the C++ sense can bring. So yes I like the implementation Dmitry did a lot - it just seems wrong to me calling them namespaces purely because we called them that prior to 5.0 release and becasue we always called them so in discussions. But the implementation is also quite different from anything we discussed outside of the paris meeting. That's all from my side.
