What reason were used to not use what C# has? It’s infinitely less noisy than Rust’s ::

Using a separate character for namespace resolution and field indexing allows you to have a module with the same name as a value.

Wouldn’t this be trivially solved by having namespaces follow the same PascalCase semantics as types?

I.e

use Std.String;

…. let string = String(…);

That's a different trade off. It's not a solution.

Technically, it is only 75% less noisy.
