There are a few I’m aware of:

  1. Rust-style use (multiple imports per statement, renaming items using as)
  2. Java-style import (single import per statement, no renaming (afaik))
  3. Zig-style let xlib = @import("xlib") (imports as assignments)
  4. C-style #include (no importing, just pastes the code of the named file)

    I don’t know, but my least favourite has to be Python with its from syntax.

    e.g.,

    # fine
import os.path

# what??
from os import path

      I don’t mind the syntax as such but the whole module, file, relative hidden import rules drives me nuts.

      iirc there is also this patter of putting the following inside init.py:

      from .myfunction import myfunction
