> I think Scala will always suffer from its choice to make implicits so fundamental. Thankfully it won't. Scala 3 deconstructs implicits and discourages (or outright discards) the bad parts: http://dotty.epfl.ch/docs/reference/contextual/motivation.html http://dotty.epfl.ch/docs/reference/contextual/motivation.ht... "Implicits" are useful for the Type class pattern and is available in Scala 3 with an improved syntax. "Implicits" for implicit conversions is an ugly hack that should be avoided as much as possible and Scala 3 restricts it. "Implicits" for extension methods is a clever hack, and Scala 3 provides a dedicated syntax for defining extension methods.
