Fair point, although I'm not sure I'd call implicit function parameters an OO concept.

Regardless, scala3 will make that conversation so much simpler http://dotty.epfl.ch/docs/reference/contextual/type-classes....

True enough that implicitness is not an OO concept in and of itself (I think that was the operative word you're focusing on), but I do think it's the first thing that comes to mind if you're thinking in an OO manner. (Ugh... I keep needing to thread this parameter around... oh I know I could just use this DI library to implicitly insert this parameter for me!)
