Would it be feasible to declare nested classes in a separate file? For example: I would like to have MyViewModel in one file, and MyViewModel.State in another file?

[zak.taccardi]

I like to use this type of namespacing for organization, but it often causes large files unfortunately

[zak.taccardi]

If you could create nested typealiases, that would help too

typealias MyViewModel.State = MyViewModelState

though MyViewModelState would still bleed across the module

you can lean on mixins to have this already.

[jimn]

you can have the "big" volume of code in seperate file. nested classes declared in seperate files really doesn't sound inner or nested, or intuitive

[elizarov]

What nesting buys you in this case? You can name it MyViewModelState. Would it work or?

[zak.taccardi]

That definitely works. I just prefer the MyViewModel.State naming

Would also be cool to be about to nest under typealiases
