C++ has had namespaces for a very long time (since the beginning? not sure, I wasn't using computers when it was created), just like those other languages. The name collision issue that it has is the same as them.

And with those C++ namespaces you can do `using some_namespace::some_specific_name;`. Which resolves the issue just like in those other languages.
