scala's implicits are an absolute nightmare, is hard to express just how difficult they make code to read, and how much time they add to compilation

imagine a structure that can effectively add methods to a given type without you having any idea what you imported that caused the methods to be added

the compiler has to perform searches to resolve implicits... compilation time explodes when you have several imported
