In previous post I was unsatisfied about the much typing in the D language to solve the globals problem.
And what came next is I realized the alternative: Go Programming Language.
Among the other significant advantages(goroutines etc.) it claims *less typing*. Reading the newsgroups, finally I go strait to the specification:

Excerpt from http://golang.org/doc/go_spec.html
Assume we have compiled a package containing the package clause package math, which 
exports function Sin, and installed the compiled package in the file identified by 
"lib/math". This table illustrates how Sin may be accessed in files that import 
the package after the various types of import declaration.

Import declaration          Local name of Sin

import   "lib/math"         math.Sin
import M "lib/math"         M.Sin
import . "lib/math"         Sin


I think that's better than in D.
By default it requires me to access fully qualified name of the global.
Renamed import doesn't require '= '.
Explicit period required to use exported name without prefix.
I like less typing, I like the Go!
