What is this process of layering folders and then wrapping them in a namespace called?
When I recently wrote the algorithm service, as soon as I implemented modules like twap and vwap, this old problem popped up again.
If we rely on class names to enforce semantics in C++, the naming convention quickly becomes out of control. Things like TwapOrderManager, VwapOrderManager, and AlgoOrderManager sound like, “I know my structure isn’t contained, but I’ll at least add a prefix.” Frankly speaking, organizing by folders and then adding a layer of namespace isn’t about code snobbery; it’s filling the gap that C++ has because it lacks Java’s native package system.
