      1. rust opinion: i was expecting the borrow checker to give me grief all the time, but actually most faff comes from having to explicitly deal with what type of number a number is.

      u8 or usize or i64 or f64 or whatever else is going on. and every time a different type of number has to interact with another one, you've got to explicitly cast it. ugly math.

    brb, off to draft an RFC to replace all the numeric types with Number. if it works for Javascript...!
