Absolutely! Damn language innovators who think that solving module linkage is "not sexy" but modifying syntax to be unprocessable by people and machines is.

Google Go is fast because it stole ideas from Wirth and followers (Turbo Pascal, Modula) who actually took the care to provide sane module linkage for decades. The proper path to the evolution of C was to keep includes and classic linking but to allow "module linking" too. All that was being done for decades, only not in C and C++.
