Perl used to have one of the most extensive module libraries. One of the things I miss about Perl was it’s more sensible module namespace convention (Eg Net::... for networking related) vs the more hip but confusing and hard to discover naming of node modules.

Yes, the hierarchical namespace for modules was super nice. Migrating to a flattened package structure of npm was a disappointment. I ended up encoding the same type of structure in internal npm package names, e.g. "@myorg/net-aws-.." and "@myorg/file-..."
