TIL Rust has an ambiguity `if Foo {}` -- is `Foo` a value of type bool, or a struct? Rust solves this by defining a grammar production 'any expression except struct literals' and using it in this position. https://rust-lang.github.io/rfcs/0092-struct-grammar.html

I've been using "Expected Int, but got String" for my type error messages, but I've been wondering if I could do better. "Expected Int here, but this value has type String" or "This expression requires Int, but the value is String". Do you have a favourite?

It's incredibly hard to explain adversarial problems to users. I see gamers sincerely asking "why doesn't the publisher just fix the cheater problem?". This is exacerbated by the fact that sharing too many details of anticheat can make the problem worse.
