Programming Without Files and Folders

Question

I hate having to organize code. It's annoying to move functions into their own files and then decide on a hierarchy to group them in folders.What are my options?

You can put it all in one big file that will ensure no one contributes or tries to maintain the code.I think your best option is not to swim against the current. The vast majority of developers organize code in files and folders because people can easily understand hierarchies. Developer tools (IDEs and editors) have good search and fuzzy find built-in so you don't have to click through folder hierarchies to find a file, or find where a function gets defined.

Use Lisp or Smalltalk?They have an "image" which contains everything (including the system-provided libraries), in a single file, and rely on the development environment to navigate to classes,functions, etc.
