I like the Rust feature of semicolon discarding information. Is that not what is happening here? Really contrived example that he accidentally wrote "return true".

Yes, but he's talking about an equivalent of Rust's [must_use].

I actually made a post on the Rust subreddit inquiring why Rust made must_use opt-in instead of opt-out like Swift and, apparently, F#. The reaction was OVERWHELMINGLY negative toward the idea of it being opt-out, which I find very surprising considering the kind of code one typically sees in Rust.
