What is your preferred import style (sh.itjust.works)

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 like Rust’s style. It’s simple and it does everything you need. As much as I love Elixir, which I write at my day job, it has alias, import, use, and require, which each import things different, and it can get a bit confusing.
