The latest rename plan: `delegate`
For those following the ongoing discussions about what term to use in Dotty for the concept currently called implicit
, I’ll call your attention to this PR from today, which tries out the term delegate
.
I don’t have a strong opinion about it myself yet — it doesn’t strike me as an absolute win, but I think I like it a little more than implied
. Y’all may want to roll it over in your minds; I’m sure we’ll be discussing it on Scala Contributors before long.
(And I’d urge folks to keep an open mind. So far, I haven’t seen any slam-dunk right answers, and it’s worth continuing to prod at this to see what seems to work best, since it’s going to be pretty important in Scala 3.)
