YES! .../ would be really ugly. Soo ...

namespaces would be the answer to the problems addressed by this mail.

The files in the libs (and code also) cold savely be adressed by
something (as an example) like

vendorname/version/./directory/file

or

vendorname/../directory/file

for the latest version

(if vendorname was done right)

I think, libraries together with namespaces could gain a great potential
to boost the usage of Gambas. With them people could share code freely
without the pain of conflicting names.

Languages like Java, Python, PHP show that with namespaces the
production of shared code literally explodes. Together with the
importance and the potential of the language itself.

In Gambas I would like to, but cannot share my own code with others
because I never know whether my own code breaks things in other
environments.

I am not able to use foreign code without copy/paste it into my own (and
do some rework to make it compatible). If the foreign code evolves, I
cannot benefit from that easily without copy/paste/rework ... thats
really ugly compared to sth like PHP composer where I just do

"./composer update"

to get the updated lib via Git in the background.

As we have vendorname for libs already, why not use it as namespace?

But the concept should be well designed, because once on the road it
would be hard to stop.

Alles Gute
