Clippy

• More than you've ever wanted to know about errors in Rust

  I couldn't find it in the API guidelines either. From what I understand, the idea is that any trait bounds, which includes generic type parameter bounds and lifetime bound on a type (struct or enum) would be repeated back in the impl block

  there is a nice discussion on this issue here: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-clippy/issues/1689

• New clippy lint: detecting `&mut` which could be `&` in function arguments

  You should not blindly follow clippy lints. They are sometimes wrong. Another example https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-clippy/issues/9782 .

• Let else will finally be formatted by rustfmt soon

• My deduplication solution written in Rust beats everything else: casync, borg...

  I often write () = f() to assert that f() is unit. Unfortunately clippy warns on such code ( https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-clippy/issues/9048 ). There are very recent pull requests for this bug, so hopefully this bug will be fixed very soon. But meanwhile I invented this workaround: [()] = [f()] :)

• Any open source projects willing to take in juniors?

  Apart from running clippy on many projects being essential, clippy is also an exceptionally welcoming project, no matter your prior knowledge.

• Any new Opensource projects in (rust) looking for contributors. I want to start my journey as an OSS contributor.

  clippy is a great place to get started :) though it isn't exactly new.

• I want to contribute in a big project

  clippy is also pretty compiler-adjacent and unlike rust-analyzer uses rustc's internal APIs. Don't let the size of the code base scare you off! It's actually feasible for a newcomer to contribute even such a substantial change as a new lint, and we have issues labeled as "good first issue" that come with mentorship, so you don't need to go it alone.

• rustc-plugin: A framework for writing plugins that integrate with the Rust compiler

  Yes, you could use it to write a lint. Although you might find it easier to just fork Clippy and add your own lints to their existing framework.

  They are two of my favorite Rust tools. If you haven’t tried them yet, I highly recommend giving them a try. Clippy can detect various lints in your code and guide you towards writing more idiomatic code. To install Clippy, simply run rustup component add clippy, and to run it within your workspace, execute cargo clippy. For more details, visit Clippy’s GitHub repository.
