I feel like you aren’t aware of the much too long history these kinds of discussions have already had…

Just a few links (most recent to least recent):

- [Return of the soft scope blog post](https://julialang.org/blog/2020/08/julia-1.5-highlights/#the_return_of_soft_scope_in_the_repl) - most recent changes new in 1.5
- [New scope solution](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/new-scope-solution/16707), in which the changes from above where discussed extensively (includes _too many links_ to previous discussions to count them all)
- [Another possible solution to the global scope debacle](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/another-possible-solution-to-the-global-scope-debacle/15894), the discussion preceding the discussion from above (again, _too many links and posts to summarize_)
- [Infamous Issue #28789](https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/issues/28789), which was the source of the most recent set of changes
- …and a bunch more from before the 1.0 days which are either too outdated to be useful or I can’t find them anymore.

Please be aware that these changes have had just so many hours poured in that frankly, it feels a bit imposing bringing it up again so shortly after the initial release of 1.5.

Also, [Julia is (hopefully, finally) not at that stage of development anymore](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/psa-julia-is-not-at-that-stage-of-development-anymore/44872).
