I kind of like how it's relatively explicit. Compare to say C#'s namespaces are anywhere, as long as the build tool sees the file. I can only imagine how much work the development extensions/tools are and it's probably a large part of why, for example, the .Net/C# extension for VS Code feels so slow, quirky and broken compared to other languages, including rust.

This isn't a knock on the C# language, just that I can understand the explicit nature and how it makes the tooling simpler and more consistent.

Also a recent example that is even more explicit is Deno's module system where you tend to explicitly specify a given file/url. It irks me to no end that using this behavior with TypeScript in Node is so broken by comparison (can't reference files with extension).
