Subject: [ruby-core:64030] [ruby-trunk - Feature #9064] [Feedback] Add support for packages, like in Java

Issue #9064 has been updated by Yukihiro Matsumoto.

Status changed from Open to Feedback

I am not sure about the motivation behind this proposal.
Are the following all reasons you have:

* Reduce module .. end lines
* Reduce indentations

If so, the change is too big for small gain.

I am not (yet) against the packaging system, but I think Node.js/Python one is better than this.

Feature #9064: Add support for packages, like in Java
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/9064#change-48043

----------------------------------------
In Java, it's easy to define a package for a certain class:

package com.company.MyClass

We don't use that convention in Ruby but we have another way of packaging classes:

module MyLibrary
  module InnerNamespace
    class MyClass
    end
  end
end

I'd prefer to be able to use something like this instead meaning exactly the same thing:

package MyLibrary::InnerNamespace # or MyLibrary.InnerNamespace, I don't really care
class MyClass
end

Could you please consider this idea?
