Namespaces 101

During the last days I have done an immersion into namespaces, the new big feature that is coming in Ruby.

Here's a digested mental model for you all.

Thanks for the gist! Wouldn’t it be better to have imports like python JS?

Ruby already has "namespaces" in that sense of the word, it is what you get with `A::B::C`, only they are globally available, as they are in Java. It is a different way to look at that.

These are kind of isolated contexts, it is a different feature.

This is a feature I was very excited about when I first saw it was in the works that I haven't followed much since then.

This summary was very helpful, and I almost wish we had something equivalent to Rails Guides for Ruby above the level of API docs on an official doc site.

Great digest! Thank you for taking time to write it

Very nice write-up, thank you!

I think I spotted a constant name typo...?

> While we are invoking `Foo.m` [...snip...] the `X` in main does not exist there, the only `X` that exists for that method is the one in ns.

Should those `X` be `M`?

Well spotted! Thanks Prem!
