    Indeed, and Scala (at least the version I've tried 10 years ago) tries to do both, somewhat poorly. shrug

      Personally I found Scala's module/import system to be really really good. There are some annoying things with it, but they mostly come from JVM/Java compatibility.

        Yeah, it's the compat that I vaguely recall being kludgy.
