Rust Tips and Tricks #PartOne

Rustfmt is a tool that formats Rust code in compliance with style guidelines. Its name precisely reflects its purpose. To install rustfmt, you can run rustup component add rustfmt. Once installed, you can execute cargo fmt to format Rust code in your workspace. If you require further information, you can visit rustfmt’s GitHub repository.

code must be formatted with rustfmt.

Yes, some cases are not yet supported (https://github.com/rust-lang/rustfmt/issues/4914).
How do I stop RustFmt from turning this…

Just FYI, the let-else suggestions will only work until rustfmt settles on a format for it. So you may be surprised when this happens and it suddenly changes.

rust-analyzer and Clippy aren't not really involved with formatting. rustmft does autoformat to 4 spaces.

rustfmt is the official formatter.
Adding formatter and linter to rost_gen
3 projects | dev.to | 4 Nov 2022

This week, I added a formatter and linter to rost_gen (a static site generator) to improve the readability of the code and fix common issues automatically. I chose to use rustfmt for the formatter and rust-clippy for the linter.
Python multi-level break and continue

My example was "twice by one developer", not "twice across all indexed repos."
A spot check shows that quite a few in your link are used specifically to ensure correct handling of Rust multi-level breaks work syntax, like https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-analyzer/blob/master/crate... , https://github.com/rust-lang/rustfmt/blob/master/tests/sourc... , https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/master/src/tools/rust... , https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/master/src/tools/rust... and likely more.
Another is a translation of BASIC code to Rust, using break as a form of goto. https://github.com/coding-horror/basic-computer-games/blob/e...
The example at https://github.com/tokio-rs/mio/blob/master/tests/tcp.rs is a nice one
```
    // Wait for our TCP stream to connect
```
Does Rust not need extra linting and sanitizing tools like C++?

There is clippy for additional lints, rust-analyser has some lints (and refactoring tools) that are not in the compiler, there is rustfmt for formatting code or checking if code is formatted and so on

In addition, running rustfmt on existing files often moves comments around in a way that changes their meaming. So just doing this blindly on files that are not prepared for rustfmt is a bad idea. This is not a theoretical concern, I have run into this several times, and sometimes this has slipped through review.
