Spare the Rod and Spoil the Programmer

I'm not sure I agree with his point. And even if I do agree, wouldn't you say this points out a problem in the language being used? Of course, pretty much all languages have the same problem.

It seems to me that not enough thought has gone into how programming languages should handle dependency management. I think it could be done much better, although I must admit that I have no idea how.

As he mentions, if you only ever look at the code through an IDE that does code folding, the long list of imports is a non-issue.
