Re: Implicit conversion and scalac

the compiler cannot reuse the enrichment instance because right now it is not smart enough to see that the enrichment instance has no state.

Re: Implicit conversion and scalac

but the VM may well be able to erase the penalty of instantiation altogether, so in the spirit of the recent micro optimization discussions, i would say, don't waste your time thinking about it _unless you encounter a real performance problem related to it_.

Re: Implicit conversion and scalac

( p.s. although probably it is advisable to make a real pimped class with methods 'hello' and 'hi', since with the code below you end up with structural types, no? )

Re: Implicit conversion and scalac

structural types are ok for this

Re: Implicit conversion and scalac

unless it's the performance argument again ;) then they are bad
