I qualify and/or make explicit all my imports in Haskell today because of my limited time in Purescript. The code is easier for people new to the codebase to pick up what is going on too. Thanks #purescript! :)

Pretty much everyone does in purescript land, but that’s because the compiler warns about open imports by default

As someone who reads much more Haskell than I ever write, I can concur that explicit imports are most appreciated pretty much all the time!

Haskell isn’t the only one though - Agda, Coq, Lean, OCaml, etc. also can be quite frustrating to read if the author isn’t disciplined with explicit imports. Hopefully better code navigation tools come to our aid here, but in the interim it can be rather a pain. 😔
