The lack of namespaces is making people create all kinds of "design patterns".
struct API { static let endpoint = "http://example.com/api"\}
Here is an "improvement" to the above "design pattern" to prevent instantiating API:
struct API { private init() {} static let endpoint = "http://example.com/api"\}
Finally, here is another "improvement" that uses enum instead of struct to avoid having to write the private initializer:
enum API { static let endpoint = "http://example.com/api"\}
I doubt any of you find this beautiful. Yet these "design patterns" (just hacks IMO) are spreading like the plague because of the lack of namespaces.
What do you think?
