Some programmers are married to the imperative, side-effecting mindset. This makes them fearful of Scala’s implicit keyword (among many other high-level programming constructs and abstractions). You can read all sorts of amateurish criticism of this language construct on various websites, but I plan to show why they are a necessity to the language being useful (in the intellectually true and meaningful sense — not in a “Java” “pragmatist” sense (I know I’m treading on thin ice here, but the point is worthwhile)).
