Do these print statements print the same thing?

    let i = 1;
    let j = 1;
    print!("i: {:?}\n", !i);
    print!("j: {:?}\n", !j);

    let v = vec![1, 2, 3];
    v[i];
There are definitely times you want to specify a type.

So I'm coming from basically obly TypeScript type system experience but that seems completely ok to me. There are times I make my TS uglier to make it less ambiguous and times I make it more ambiguous to make it more readable. It's unreasonable imo that such a system could universally land on the most readable format even if we could all agree what's most readable. Instead, some cases are going to be tradeoffs so that the more common cases can flow unimpeded.

The Rust example I showed changes behavior when you declare the types. It's not just a readability or bug catching thing.
