pre-commit.ci Developers spend a fair chunk of time during their development flow on fixing relatively trivial problems in their code. pre-commit.ci both enforces that these issues are discovered (which is opt-in f...

For FOSS, I use pre-commit.ci - which is technically a "post-commit" (as it adds another commit to your GitHub PR for simple things like `cargo fmt`, missing trailing newline, spaces, or any other custom 3rd-party provided linter. Much better than requiring all users to get paper cuts with fmt

A Clippy lint to simplify Rust format expressions is being voted on to become "style". I think it improves code readability and eliminates some bugs. Please vote rust-lang.zulipchat.com#narrow/chann...

Rust v1.85 is out! Clippy now allows 3rd party crates to tag format!-like macros, like `log::warn!`, so any code misusing them will now be linted too. It only took me 2 years to get it working :) github.com/rust-lang/ru...
