Nope, they are not.

HKTs and typeclasses are not specific to Scala. Implicits and incoherense is, somehow, specific, though it seems to be lot, lot better than coherent implementation and that's why it stays in 3.0.

Yes, in 2021 it should be obvious that HKTs and typeclasses are must for engineers productivity. Also I can't comprehend how virtually everyone ignores insanely productive concept of implicit materializers. It's very unfortunate that language designers prefer to stick with old dead ideas and don't want to learn from Scala nor Haskell.
