On: Rusty thoughts on "Parse, don't validate"

[Supermancho]

"parse don't validate" can be rephrased: "expect the type validation from a parser"

Which is plainly moving the problem around, for types. The value validation is a much simpler problem, as a separate application-specific check.

It is also about clear demarcation, of validated stuff vs not yet validated.

Crystal clear clarity is a nice thing to have. (As with everything, there are trade-offs)
