Shopify would benefit a ton from "some" namespaces. In a way, packwerk[0] was an attempt at bringing some namespaces benefits.

But I don't personally think Shopify would benefit from this specific implementation of namespaces (a couple colleagues do). I'm personally not even sure Namespace is a proper term to describe that feature. It's more some sort of lightweight sandboxing to me.

Also:

> They have so many expert Ruby devs

If anything, the average Ruby expertise at Shopify is likely noticeably lower than in most Ruby/Rails shop.
