So in summary, "Please just do better". Not helpful as a video game meme, and really no better for programming.

An example of a clippy lint that I like in clippy:
If you try to transmute() &[u8] into a &str clippy will point out that you should probably from_utf8_unchecked() -- this lint results in code that does the same thing but is clearer for maintainers about what we intended. If our reaction to the lint is "But it isn't UTF-8" then we just got an important red flag, but that's not why the lint is there.
On the other hand, clippy lints for truncating casts and I want those gone from the language so the warnings ought to at least live in the compiler not clippy. I would like to see a future Edition outlaw these casts entirely so that you need to write a truncating cast explicitly if that's what you needed.
