Can't tell you how often I've run:
`pip install aws`
This installs a library by some authors not affiliated with AWS.
Instead of: `pip install awscli`
Which is what you expect.

I guess "owner/packagename" convention could solve such issues as it's common with other package ecosystems.
Right. So then you add burnsushi/ripgrep instead. See the problem? Namespaces are a solution or mitigation to some problem, but that problem is not malicious typo-squatting.
>See the problem?
The only problem I see is that I don't know who owns ripgrep, so sticking some random name in front of it only adds to my confusion.

#53What is ripgrep?
Edit: Because I'm on a Zoom call that will never end.
"ripgrep is a line-oriented search tool that recursively searches the current directory for a regex pattern. By default, ripgrep will respect gitignore rules and automatically skip hidden files/directories and binary files."

A grep alternative that optimizes for performance: https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep . There are detailed performance comparisons and discussions in the readme there.

A file searcher akin to grep, ack, or ag (aka the silver searcher) it's programmed in Rust so it is decently fast with good support for UTF-8.
Unfortunately it defaults to parsing a git tree's gitignore file and skipping over files listed in it.

To me the problem solved by namespaces is making it clear what's an official package of a project and what's a non-malicious third party package intended to work with that project. e.g. bevy and amethyst have claimed a load of crate names like bevy-x or amethyst_y because they thought they might release an official addon to their framework to handle those areas. e.g. bevy did it with this https://github.com/bevyengin…
I'm not sure I necessarily agree with that... But yeah I specifically did not want to get into what namespaces do solve, and so was instead vague and just acknowledged that they're good for something . :-) I will also say this: at the level of personal preference, and given my understanding of many other package ecosystems, I would have preferred namespaces from the start. But I don't feel very strongly one way or th…
I edited to clarify.

#57Crates should be namespaced by user. This is a disaster waiting to happen.

I agree, same for PyPI and all package repositories.

Is that true? How could anybody think that this non-orthogonal monstrosity would make any sense?

It’s what you usually want when searching code bases. It includes all your source code but excludes generated code and build artefacts.
