They can make code somewhat noisy. I think there's two points here. I must admit I found it a bit hard work _writing_ fasta - I didn't realise how much I relied on C's integer promotion rules. But I think that can be overcome with a bit of mental discipline. The second point is whether the suffixes obscure the meaning of the code when _reading_ it. I think they do to some extent but not too badly. Is it possible to infer the type from the expression, e.g. in 2 + x the 2 matches the declared type of x? Also is it possible to modify the emacs rust-mode to show the suffix in a different colour?
