Implicits are obviously useful for DSLs, I'm not disputing that. My point is that they're obviously useful for other things as well, and so it doesn't make sense to say their inclusion in the language is a sign that the designers are going "all in" for DSLs - that designation would seem to be reserved for features like macros or parser combinators.
