I don’t think that casting a range of bits as some other arbitrary type “is a bug nobody sees coming”.
C++ compilers also warn you that this is likely an issue and will fail to compile if configured to do so. But it will let you do it if you really want to.
That’s why I love C++
Depending on what I’m doing, sometimes rust will annoy me just as much. Often I’m doing something I know is definitely right, but I have to go through so much ceremony to get it to work in rust. The most commonly annoying example I can think of is trying to mutually borrow two distinct fields of a struct at the same time. You can’t do it. It’s the worst.
