It's tricky to do an apples-to-apples comparison. Imports in D conflate two distinct concepts (in a helpful way): declaring a module dependency, and introducing names into the local namespace. Not all languages work the same, though. Ocaml, for example, has great support for namespace updates (`let module M = TheModule in ...` and `let open TheModule in ...` and `module MyModule = struct open TheModule ...`). But they are slightly less significant in Ocaml, because any module that has been linked into the program is available everywhere in the program: you can just write `let result = TheModule.call_something () in ...`, anywhere you like, with no "imports". Linkages (dependencies) are handled externally at the tooling level. It's certainly convenient that an `import` inside a D function body can tackle both issues at once.
