Perhaps a bit more of an unorthodox blog post, but Gilad Bracha's Ban on Imports really changed the way I think about module systems: https://gbracha.blogspot.com/2009/06/ban-on-imports.html https://gbracha.blogspot.com/2009/06/ban-on-imports.html He talks about how imports and exports are global state, and that they have all the issues that global state brings. It's made me appreciate dependency injection a lot more.
