I feel like in such scenario a warning should be issued, or even compilation error, "static array initialization expects 10 values, only 1 provided". Sooner or later someone will hit the same issue again and spend hours debugging why the array doesn't get zeroed.

Yep, the syntax should be more explicit. Something like this:

float[10] x = [42, ...];   // [42, NaN, ..., NaN]
float[10] y = [1:42, ...]; // [NaN, 42, NaN, ..., NaN]
