Use context function for handler in Scala 3? about feral HOT 5 CLOSED

If you do this for yourself you will basically ban cross-compiling platforms or folks that still use implicits. Not something I'd recommend.

Scala 3 only features will drive out those who can't follow your cross.

I'm fairly certain context parameters are compatible with implicit parameters. So I don't think it would be this extreme.

This is a valid concern.

I think this is an interesting case because the code in question is essentially our equivalent of a main method i.e. something that will only exist in applications, not libraries, and thus not subject to the usual degree of crossing. This change shouldn't affect any other code. So I think we could make it work—the burden would be on us really, to maintain two versions of IOLambda and two versions of all the examples.

If you are certain that no one can abstract the layer you are working at, then it can work. But I know I'm always surprised by the new abstractions that are found, and this is still relatively new.

Ah, you are completely right. We ourselves are actually currently abstracting this layer in #89. So any changes here would propagate there, and I don't want to maintain all that. Yeah, this is unfortunately unrealistic/impractical.

Thanks for the good advice @ChristopherDavenport.
