Crate pedant 

An opinionated Rust linter with special focus on AI-generated code.

pedant catches patterns that compile but violate best practices: deep nesting, panic-prone calls, silenced warnings, dynamic dispatch, and mixed concerns.

Quick start

use pedant::{lint_str, Config};

let config = Config::default();
let result = lint_str("fn f() { if true { if false {} } }", &config).unwrap();
assert!(!result.violations.is_empty());
