i cannot fathom what could possibly be difficult of

do not understand, why so many languages that lacks so much needed
namespace for so long? If it is a social problem, i don't imagine they
would last so long. It must be some technical issue?
Simply put:
- it was not in the original language specification
- some hundreds of millions of distributed browsers interpret
Javascript without namespaces
- to introduce namespaces into the language would require every browser
to be replaced (at least if the user comes across a site which uses it)
The IT community has enough trouble getting a few ISPs to upgrade their
DNS software. How are you going to get millions of general users to
upgrade?
Web stats show that people are still using IE 5...
