I will say that it’s nice that you need explicit imports in Gleam. Elixir does not require this and a lot of code in our codebase suffers from unspecified imports which can be difficult to follow.
I thought I would love "all the namespace everywhere" (which would be a _great_ name for a tech talk at a conf, but it just feels too much like magic to me.
One thing I've never thought about, but you could potentially just make a single file with all the imports and that would make it easier to check, but it still just feels too much like magic and loss of control.

After mucking around with import paths in so many languages for so long, I like that elixir is like “all the namespaces everywhere”
