You mean that you can override the import mechanism, which means that it allows you to do just about anything, including making it work with other languages.

That doesn't sound cursed to me, just flexible.

What’s flexible for a dynamic scripting language is often cursed from a static perspective. Knowing what imports resolve to statically can be nice.
