Some automatic conversion is fine.

a=3+0.2

print("Hello {name}. You are {age} years old")

That kind of thing. But the principle of least surprise definitely applies. If you get to the point where you're adding two booleans and a string, I feel like the language should at least say something. At least until the technology exists for it to physically reach out of your screen and slap you.
