Clippy
Clippy is a linter for Rust programming language.
If you are annoyed by the compiler (shouting at telling you
how your code is wrong), wait till you install and use clippy
😄
Jokes apart, why I want to use clippy is it tells us about idiomatic rust and can autofix issues (if we tell it to do so)
Couple of fun facts I discovered :
- First search result for clippy is not what I was looking for 😄 till I searched for
rust clippy
clippy
can not be installed viacargo install
(As I tried initially)- (As with rest of the rust ecosystem) there was a helpful error message with solution 😇
error: Clippy is no longer available via crates.io
help: please run `rustup component add clippy-preview` instead
