I did no such thing. My post was about explaining the decision process that causes humans to either adopt some technical solution or not. In doing so, I put on the ``hat'' of an Emacs Lisp, Javascript or C programmer. If enough programmers share this type of perception (be it right or wrong), that explains why there is no rush to add namespace support to these languages. The theory is that the adoption of some technology is driven by a function of the ratio: perceived crisis ---------------- perceived pain of adoption These perceptions may not be accurate. The crisis may be larger than perceived, or the pain of adoption may be smaller than perceived. But, you missed the point that I don't necessarily agree or disagree with the perceptions. They are what they are. > Nobody is saying that lacking namespace is a CRISIS. I.e. you agree that it's not widely perceived as a crisis. Hence, small numerator in the above ratio. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
