将停止使用 TypeScript 命名空间？

Question

Recently, I read a quite a bit from developers who suggest not to use namespaces any more but switching to modern module handling. I'm teaching programming to beginners using TypeScript and namespaces are very valuable here, since folks can work on multiple assignments over a longer period of time in a single directory and subdirectories, without having to deal with multiple compiler configuration files and module exports and imports. They just define a namespace for a task and use that across the files they create for it.

So my question is: are there plans to discontinue namespaces in TypeScript?

Probably not. Here is a comment of a Microsoft staff about another subject but it seems it is a general remark:

This is not the TS team position. we have no plans of deprecating any thing any time soon. ( source )

Anyway, the ES6 module system is the way to go. I suggest an article from Mozilla on how to import a module as a namespace:

When you import * , what's imported is a module namespace object . Its properties are the module's exports.
