Yeah, part of the point of Rust is that it does exactly what you tell it - sometimes to the point of absurdity. No implicit casting for instance.
And here I was thinking most of our programming problems come from the thing doing exactly what we told it to, but didn't quite think the process through enough. Or at all.
