I don't even dislike the concept of mixing things up. It's pretty neat to be able to import a class which can be used as a constructor as well as a type.
But it obviously is less transparent and really carries the risk of newbies getting burned.
Nice! TypeScript 3.8 (in beta ATM) has import type and it would give a compiler error if you used a type-ish import (like a class) from import type in a value position
