Very interesting JVMLS talk on "typeclasses" in Java:

. If it does make it into the language it's likely to come into Kotlin in some form for interop, and it's also something that Kotlin can't really do at the moment.

Disclaimer: I haven't watched the video yet We can get kinda close with contexts. We need some
given
mechanism like Scala has and then we'd be able to do typeclasses and more. I was briefly working on this before as a revival of arrow proofs, but I didn't get far at all. The issue is resolving typeclasses. It can be a slow and confusing process.

Yeah, that's essentially what the video's about 😁
