dylint VS solana

There is also https://github.com/trailofbits/dylint for writing custom lints.

Apart from clippy (which uses rustc-internal APIs), there are two other projects which can be used to implement lints: rust-analyzer can be extended with more diagnostics, and dylint provides an interface to run custom lints for Rust.

RE: Program is a model

There are some more advanced refactoring tools now available. These tools enable you to write code to detect bad code patterns and even automatically fix them. You can use them to write one-off transformations of code too. Rust has Dylint [1] and C# has Roslyn Analyzers [2]. Facebook has tooling [3] that helps writing CodeMods, enabling authors to generate changes for thousands of files at a time.

The thing I really would like to see is a smarter CI system. Caching of build outputs, so you don't have to rebuild the world from scratch every time. Distributed execution of tests and compilation, so you are not bottle-necked by one machine. Something that keeps track of which tests are flaky and which are broken on master, so you don't have to diagnose spurious build failures. Something that only runs the test that transitively depend on the code you change. Automatic bisecting of errors to the offending commit.

If you're looking for something like clippy but with custom lints, there's also dylint -- it is clippy, but with support for running dynamically loaded lints across multiple versions of Rust.

You might find dylint useful! It's exactly that: a tool to run custom clippy lints.

Dylint. A tool for running Rust lints from dynamic libraries.

Solana (9700 GitHub Stars) https://github.com/solana-labs/solana

EIP Core standards: Changes to Solana’s core code go through “feature gates” in the Solana repo. Yes, it’s much less organized than the EIP pages you are used to, and a headache to understand or keep up with. A cost of the speed of development, I’m told.

I visited the project on github (https://github.com/solana-labs/solana), and tried to get an overview of the ~800 open issues and ~100 open PRs.

Solana

With the introduction of new and advanced blockchain platforms in the Web 3.0 scene, the narrative around Ethereum has slowly shifted towards its younger “Ethereum Alternatives”. Solana, Avalanche, and MultiversX (former Elrond) are some of the crypto blockchains that are given this terminology, as they share similar features but are comparatively cheaper and better than Ethereum.

I understand this initiative is connected with Solana network [1] in some way?

They do, actually: https://github.com/solana-labs/solana/security/policy

Not sure I understand your question, but if you want the source code you can find it on github (https://github.com/solana-labs/solana)

Some topics that may be discussed in the next call include @ShinobiSystems Timely Vote Credits proposal (https://github.com/solana-labs/solana/blob/master/docs/src/proposals/timely-vote-credits.md), @elusivprivacy new built-in cryptographic operations to accelerate ZK verification (for privacy tech), and feature activation coordination standards.
