I agree with the symptoms that were described, but I draw a different conclusion.
We don't need to change the language - we need better tools (IDEs) that operate not at the textual level, but use the annotated syntax tree, including knowledge on fully qualified names and types.
Hi Johannes, I agree that better tools would be a good thing, and could improve the programming experience considerably, but I still think that an improved module system design would be an orthogonal benefit. Best regards, Brian.
