Scala can't let go of implicits as they're a fundamental part of the language. I just don't believe this Scala 3 fudge to give the impression implicits are not alive and well beneath the surface.

Scala 3 takes the most common use cases for implicits and makes them more ergonomic. Implicits are still in the language, but not exposed as concept.

Odersky called the approach for Scala 3 "intent over mechanism."
