Namespace conflicts in Julia

Question

When I get libraries with a keyword using, I get warnings in the console at startup. How can I mitigate the problem of name conflicts? I do not see the library alias keyword as, which is available in other programming languages.

You can use instead import. You can always use it yourself, because the modules are just variables:

import DifferentialEquations
DiffEq = DifferentialEquations
const DE = DifferentialEquations # Don't know if const matters here

There is an open problem to provide syntactic sugar import asfor this. https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/issues/1255
