Speaking of lightness: Is it just me, or is the Java folder-per-namespace thingy a huge turn-down when it comes to lightness?

Why exactly? I think the two concept is very meaningfully merged. For simple programs you don’t need multiple namespaces so you have a single folder, for more complex one, tree hierarchies are good for both namespaces and folders.
You're not forced to use packages, there's anonymous package for simple small apps.
