Implicits allow for a kind of flexibility and power that is absent from pretty much every other language. Allowing functions to implicitly introspect their caller’s context is incredibly useful. The only languages that can even half way do this kind of things without crazy dynamic introspection/reflection are those that support dynamically scopped variables (such as Common Lisp). And even that isn’t as powerful.
