I hate implicit returns and don't even want them to be possible. A return is a major event. It's clearly a matter of taste.

To me there is nothing major about a function returning. Every function does that. Implicit early returns on the other hand could be deceiving, but I don't know any languages that would support those.

Agreed that it's a matter of taste. After working with Ruby and Clojure I don't even want statements or void functions to be a thing. I prefer the "everything is an expression" paradigm.
