No folders are created for namespaces in C++. The namespace is basically locked away on its own in a file (or maybe even multiple files; I can't remember because I've only played with them).

I'm not sure about C#, but the reason why Java creates folders for packages is because that way you can just wrap up the package in a JAR file for easier distribution. Instead of distributing a bunch of classes and hoping someone reads the readme about how to use it, they just need to launch the JAR file.
