In my opinion, operators overloading could be safely used if they were explicit.

With something like that:

var x = a [+] b;

There is no possible mistake.

proposed and rejected. I went to a lang meeting and tried to steelman the issue, without having a strong investment either way (I had one use case, where I would slightly prefer the infix operation).

Good to see it was discussed :)

It is probably better to have native support for small vector operations, as this can also help to streamline SIMD optimization.

In practice (as a video game dev) I only use operators overloading to have infix notation on vector maths.

Yeah gamedev/simulation is the use-case where I think operator overloading is really a value-add. It's really nice to be able to write linear algebra code which reads like math.
