What I learned from contributing to Rust's linter

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/rust

Our great sponsors
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • Clippy

    A bunch of lints to catch common mistakes and improve your Rust code. Book: https://doc.rust-lang.org/clippy/

  • This audit of lints from 2020 was in the back of my mind. I knew adding a lint that was widely ignored would only be bad for Clippy.

  • Cargo

    The Rust package manager

  • Unsure how this timing works out with cargo. We first removed most of clippy in April 2021 and then finished it off in March 2022. We just now added back in one clippy lint this month.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • rfcs

    RFCs for changes to Rust

  • btw being able to more easily manage cargo's allowed lints is why the cargo team decided to write up the lints RFC.
