Namespaces ok, but the way they have been done is not always that great. Modules are pretty much the same thing, and interfaces? No. Traits are much better then interfaces imo.

I'm in favor of that - but honestly, there hasn't been a lot worth stealing from the mainstream.
Really? Namespaces? Modules? Interfaces? Every even remotely mainstream language I am aware about has at least two out of these three - you don't find those worthwhile?
So there is lots of great stuff to steal - but not much of it from the mainstream languages - they mostly seem to ape the last generation and then take a little lunge in the direction of Smalltalk.
I must admit I'm not particularly impressed with that overall assessment.
