Futhark's design is deliberately trying to stay simple to keep long term design sustainable. The author also has an interesting discussion of relative versus absolute paths in import syntax, and how relative paths can make local analysis easier.

My default assumption is that external libraries are better than what I (or an LLM) would write in a v1. The extra effort to publish a project generally signifies that the author has spent a good amount of time on the problem. I end up prompting LLMs to prefer external code.

Are there any good tools for generating boilerplate code? If I'm a web framework author, I'd love to provide a *discoverable* tool for defining a new controller. This is especially important if files need specific naming conventions or to be in certain directories.
