>If you look at the /usr/bin directory of a Linux system there aren't any namespaces. There's 1,000+ binaries thrown into 1 folder, each with a distinct name and things work nicely.

That's the last example of a nice design I would bring, and the worst possibly argument in favor of no modules/namespacing.

A flat /usr/bin/... with 1000+ binaries in UNIX is a bad solution we ended up with because back in the day where UNIX was created there were just a few dozens of binaries, so it was "good enough".
