Automatic conversion hides type mismatches in all the program, even the parts that are not concerned with input validation and cleanup. So that makes static typing a bit less useful. As a source code reader I would much prefer to see at least a keyword or function call to make the casting explicit. string s = cast 10; s += cast 20; (I had the same reaction as the parent and think the language looks really cool otherwise)
