No, I mean if you want your higher level language to have a typesystem similar to that of Rust. As I mentioned in the other comment, interop between high level and low level languages usually happens through the medium of C, in which all type information is lost. If your higher level language is compiling to Rust, you can easily add Rusty typesystem features with seamless interop.

I'm not saying Rust's compile errors should ever be shown to the user. I don't think that's what the OP is suggesting either. If rustc errors you should emit an internal compiler error, because your higher level compiler should be producing valid rust code.
