Hey Bill,
I recently began playing around with Odin and noticed that you have incorporated slices into the language. Do you plan on having arrays automatically coerce into slices when they are passed to procedures? I know Rust does this, and I think it really helps the overall ergonomics of the language.

No. To slice an array, it's really simple:
I should note, I may change the syntax eventually from the colon `:`, to use the same as the for loops: `...` and `..<`.
This minor syntax difference isn't that important to worry about yet.
1 2 3 4 5 | a: [12]int; s: []int; // These too are equivalent s = a[:]; s = a[0:a.count-1]; |
