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.

I'm a big fan of history-based fuzzy directory switchers like autojump. I used fasd until recently, but I've started playing with zoxide and it's been good so far. This is such an established niche that zoxide can import history from other tools!

Typescript does a really good job with type aliases. I hover over a value and get `Parsimmon.Result<any>`. I then import Parsimmon but with the name P, and hover types are now `P.Result<any>`. I'm impressed.
