Bacon is a Rust code checker designed for minimal interaction, allowing users to run it alongside their editor to receive real-time notifications about warnings, errors, or test failures (I like having it show clippy's hints).

It prioritizes displaying errors before warnings, making it easier to identify critical issues without excessive scrolling.

Screenshot (from an old version I think):

v3 adds support for cargo-nextest, plus some QoL improvements.

Not sure I understand this. Is it a watch clippy? Or a completely new tool? If it's new, what does it provide over clippy?

You can set it to show what you want; if I'm doing TDD I'll set it to show the test output, and then it'll show the warnings beneath it.

You can switch between the views with a key (T for tests (or N for nextest), C for clippy, etc

But yes, it's pretty similar to using watch.

Shouldn't errors be in the bottom of the output if you don't want to scroll?

[-] Deebster@programming.dev 1 points 2 months ago

It shows the top line, so you just read top to bottom (and can scroll if you want).
