Unfortunately Glyph has orders of magnitude more intellectual capabilities than I do, so I am ultimately not an effective advocate for my position; hence I have my fallback career as a cheese maker lined up for when the async agenda finally takes over all computer programming.

Like I said, I’ve had to think about garbage collecting all of once in my entire Python career. Implicit might be theoretically nicer but until it can actually live up to the “gets out of my way-ness” of the abstractions you’re citing I’d personally much rather pass on it.
