"Compiler-Driven Development: Making Rust Work for You"
summary
Rust compiler features drive concrete outcomes: rust-analyzer runs check-on-save, shows inlay hints, autoimports and refactors; cargo fix applies compiler suggestions; enabling lints surfaces bugs early (claims ~70% of memory-safety CVEs avoided) and clippy can require safety comments for every unsafe block. Design patterns (newtype, builder, typestate) leverage the type system to prevent invalid states; a custom "providence" lifetime proves a parser’s remaining-input originates from the original input and enforces it at compile time.
