Did they? C, Lisp, Rust, Python, Ada, Go, Java, C#, ...

They all require you to qualify conflicting names if some other characteristics (for instance the number or types of arguments) don't provide enough information, or outright don't permit it (C, since it has no notion of name spaces).

Can you point to the "every other language[s]" which have solved this problem?
