There are a few I’m aware of:
- Rust-style
use(multiple imports per statement, renaming items usingas) - Java-style
import(single import per statement, no renaming (afaik)) - Zig-style
let xlib =(imports as assignments) - C-style
(no importing, just pastes the code of the named file)


The Java logging library “SLF4J” works basically this way. It’s a “broker” sort of library. You use the SLF4J API to log and there are different backend implementations that can tie your logging statements to an actual logging backend. So you can do things like switching backends without changing code or using one backend (say, to STDOUT) in local and a different one (Syslog, maybe) in prod.
