Building a small personal project in #Rust to teach myself the language. As I was looking over my code, I noticed a mistake I'd made that technically worked, but was kind of silly so I fixed it.
This got me to wondering if Rust had a linter (it does) because surely I'd made other similar rookie mistakes. I found the linter and ran it on my project. It came back with one result that I already knew about: a value in a struct that doesn't get read because I haven't written that code yet. That was it.
I was surprised. It's still a very small project, but perhaps I'm a more competent developer than I give myself credit for.
@dbanty@me Clippy by default only flags some correctness things. Turn on pedantic mode if you want to see more suggestions. !#[warn(clippy::pedantic)] at the top of your main.rs or lib.rs
@dbanty@tech.lgbt@me They add new lints with every new version of Rust, so it continues to help introduce me to newer features
