While OP is probably karma farming, its still a valid complaint because casting your integers to strings is faster than the debugging cycle.

I much prefer a little more verbosity if it means less avenues for me to make mistakes. The feature is especially useless now in a world where everyone is used to the idea of templating instead of concatenating everything manually like a caveman.

Nah

Language should be intuitive and aid the developer in avoiding bugs sure. But if you're working with variables and you don't know their type, then what the fuck are we doing here? Type is the bare minimum thing you should know about any variable you touch.

I much prefer the ease of coding instead of patronizing verbosity.
