Re: Are you sure?
Rust doesn't even allow an integer variable to be assigned the value from a shorter integer variable -- an explicit cast is needed (even though the value can never be truncated or otherwise corrupted). Such an assignment is always benign, and is accepted without even a warning in C++ (as it is in C). I'm not aware of any case in which Rust allows a coercion implicitly that C++ wouldn't.
Why is this supposed to be a good thing. *even though the value can never be truncated or otherwise corrupted*
Oh sign me up, a finger wagging compiler enforced purity test.
