One thing is true: implicits. Do not let new scalable programmers use them. When used with type classes, magic. When used as "helper" or "convenience" convertions, disaster.

Pretty much. I've honestly never seen why implicit conversions are even in the language, but implicit parameters are a godsend. They're type-classes done right for an OOP language.
