Hi Greg, everyone. Greg Beaver wrote:
http://wiki.php.net/rfc/namespaceissues Read it and discuss. Let's be clear people: the technical problems in namespaces are limited and solvable. The problems in the political environment surrounding them may not be. Wouldn't politics be a stupid-ass reason to remove namespaces?
Oh, yeah, absolutely! "Conflict between namespaced functions and static class methods" I would prefer #1, but am equally happy with #3. Note: Rewriting what we currently have to make it work with changes in namespaces would be something we happily attack as soon as we know the direction. "Resolving access to internal classes" Great. And the autoload-for-internal classes issue would be no issue if (like we currently do) one explicitly refers to them like "::Exception" anyway. Regards, Karsten PS: We are still in Berlin at a TYPO3 core developer meeting, and I am happy to see this issue (almost) resolved. The same is true for the others here. Long live PHP!
