Coming from JS or Python, imports in Rust feel weird. They're entirely optional aliases for fully qualified symbols, which are always available. I don't know of many other languages where you can just start using libraries. Java is the only one I can think of.

Waymo has been testing fully driverless cars (i.e. without a human ready to intervene) since 2017! https://arstechnica.com/cars/2017/12/driverless-cars-became-a-reality-in-2017-and-hardly-anyone-noticed/

There's a seedy underbelly of refactoring tools that work most of the time. For example, grep and sed can perform function renaming. For a small codebase, this works well (you can test or eyeball the result). Ideally we'd only use fully correct tools, but simplicity often wins.
