Basically it's going to be like C, but better.

Just kidding, you can't make anything better than C.

Namespaces.

Names doesn't matter. Only if your type system is nominative.

Make modules small and names stay short and relevant. "Global" names across modules is a linker problem. Handle that outside of the code.

Use SHA1 hash of the module as a name. Problem solved.

Don't use them then.
Just include them in the language and watch the students flunk.

Including them in the language will make it inherently bad.

I don't think anyone mentioned Python yet so what could you possibly be talking about?

Name it "The programming language". Avoid using the term "programming language" at all and refer to it as "The" or stylized Theta/Tau symbols at random.
