Lazy imports are a bandaid for AI code base monstrosities with 1000 imports (1% of which are probably Shai Hulud now).

And now even type imports are apparently so slow that you have to disable them if unused during the normal untyped execution.

If Instagram or others wants a professional language, they should switch to Go or PHP instead of shoehorning strange features into a language that wasn't built for their use cases.
