This has been supported for a long while now but it never really caught on much. It's still an option if your favourite name is taken, though.

Is this the @a/b namespacing that requires paying monthly for names (that are longer)? That’s not going to fly for most people.

Scoped packages are free: https://docs.npmjs.com/getting-started/scoped-packages

In regards to length, well, that's how namespacing works. Although that is likely part of what has contributed to it receiving less traction.

Oh, I thought you needed to register an organization to use scoped packages. Thanks! (And yes, I don't mind the length... unless I'm paying for it.)
