Just remembered that I had a fall 2021 note lying around about Compiler Explorer having evolved and been doing Rust for quite a while now: [Wayback/Archive] Compiler Explorer: G54Mb9Es3
gcc.godbolt.org
Compiler Explorer - Rust (rustc 1.55.0)

It shows that integer types [Wayback/Archive] u16 and [Wayback/Archive] u64 cannot be added together without conversion or casting. Which is an example of the strictness that Rust requires. I think that is a good thing,

The people knowing about the really early Pascal history are a dying breed. So before I pass away (see the posts on my rectum cancer), let me post a few more links here that based on yesterday’s Trip down memory lane: book on p-Code based UCSD Pascal which I ended with:
I learned a few more things from [Wayback/Archive] What do you think about something like Pascal bytecode? (Page 2)
