Keynote: Some Mistakes We Made When Designing Implicits – Martin Odersky
Channel: Typelevel
Date: 12/07/2019

We will talk about the history how Scala's implicits evolved, and about some of the mistakes we could have avoided in hindsight, but also about things that I believe we got right. I'll conclude with a presentation of revised implicits in Scala 3 which fixes most of the current problems and hopefully does not create too many new ones.
