I’ve contributed quite a few patches into clippy, it’s a great project and a great way to learn how the rustc “sees” code; from the AST, to HIR, to using typeck — sometimes we even construct types at runtime to validate the code against — to tracking traits and their implementations across a whole crate!
Clippy really is a labour of love project, and it’s been great to work with these folk <3
I will try to pick up some issues in the coming weeks.

If Clippy struggles to account for current and future changes to the Rust compiler this to me raises an obvious question: why isn’t Clippy part of the Rust compiler?

Just to be clear, this has nothing to do with Microsoft Clippy. This post is about a tool for a programming language called Rust.

Unrelated, Is there a clippy lint to detect when you fill up and array/collection and immediately call clear on it ?
FYI “Rust’s Clippy is a collection of lints (static analysis rules) designed to catch common mistakes and suggest improvements in your Rust code.”
