Specifically it does not have name spaces. Therefore it is
fundamentally flawed and cannot be used as a serious object-oriented
tool for developing complex applications. However, I'll give you that
it is pretty nice for pet-projects and educational purposes (counting
parenthesises). But for some, that is more than enough.
