You can still be clever in Rust. You just have to try harder and explicitly say "I'm trying to be clever" here. You might make a mistake, of course. But if you need it, the option is there.

There is no philosophical beauty in typos or off by one errors. You are not being stifled when your compiler points out to you that, no, "coutn" is not a variable currently in scope. If we have a static proof that what you just did will never work, why would you still want to do it?

And if you had a reason, you still have a way to do it.

If you're trying to be clever, you need to prove that you know what you're doing.
