I’ve been out of the loop with npm for a while, but are there still no package namespaces?


I am also out of the loop here, how would namespaces have helped?


Namespaces have existed since ~2016 at least in npm, but since it's not enforced and people want "nice looking" package names, the ecosystem still hasn't fully embraced it. It seems like more and more projects are using them (probably because all "good" names are already taken), but probably way less than half of all popular packages are scoped/namespaced.


Well there is jsr now....
