Sure, although that's not a ternary operator, it's just an if expression.

In practice you tend to see such casts in code where we directly needed the integer. I think Clippy (Rust's linter) proposes them where you've written if some_bool { 1 } else { 0 } because well, that's what the as cast does anyway.

I find the if expression easier to read to be honest. With the integer cast example you need to mentally translate the booleans and do a subtraction in your head to figure out what integer values are involved, with the if expression it's directly visible.
