Classes are better, but they still have no namespaces. Everything is in one global namespace.	[reply]

Classes are better, but they still have no namespaces. Everything is in one global namespace. Just being devils advocate for a minute: How is this different from Perl? Perl mangles the package and class concepts together - it doesn't really have namespaces either (in the sense they are used in C#, C++, Smalltalk, etc.)	[reply]

It's different because I, as a Perl programmer, don't have to worry about the next function name I choose colliding with any of over 3000 built-ins or any function defined in any file I might ever want to include.	[reply]
