alt Hacker NewsI don't understand why people still choose the syntax `import xxx from yyy` in the current year. It is a major source of complaining for languages like python or javascript, because it makes autocomplete does not work well.
make me instantly lost interest in the language.

Two potential suggestions:
1. Ask - the author is very much available, right here in this comment section they made specifically for such a prospect. 2. Contribute - Code the change you wish to see in the world. Follow the OP’s example, and do something about it.

Dynamically typed languages have more difficulties with autocomplete in general, Bolt is statically typed so you shouldn't automatically assume the same difficulties carry over.
well the situation may improve, so when one types `log10`, it can just fill in `math`. I tend to remember the function, not the library, so that would work better for me.
so it seems to me you're hung up on the current limitations of the language server, which is an implementation detail.
if what you want is actually important, the syntax should have been `import yyy.xxx as xxx` or similar, with optional `as xxx`, instead of a Cobol inspired syntax detail to remember.
