But these discussions will have to wait for another time, as this blog post is already too long. +## Conclusion + +Implicit function types are unique way to abstract over the context in +which some piece of code is run. I believe they will deeply influence +the way we write Scala in the future. They are very powerful +abstractions, in the sense that just declaring a type of a function +will inject certain implicit values into the scope of the function's +implementation. Can this be abused, making code more obscure? +Absolutely, like every other powerful abstraction technique.
