Sure, I was suggesting that what the OP is asking for is not what Rust does, but what Swift does. This is not a configuration thing, if you don't want a runtime exception on overflow, you must use a different arithmetic operator.

Swift's behavior comes at a cost - it is not exactly the fastest language out there ;) Another no-overflow oddity is that Swift doesn't have a rand() equivalent. You can't get fast psuedorandom numbers in Swift unless you are on the Mac, in which case you can import GameplayKit and get gaming-appropriate pseudorandom numbers.

EDIT - to be clear, I am not suggesting that anyone change their own chosen programming language. But if you'd like, install Swift on your dev machine and make a Swift implementation of the critical section of your Rust code. Debug, optimize, tweak, etc. And you'll get a pretty good idea of what kind of performance you have to give up to do what many people are asking :)
