Longdescription.long	Clippy provides over 800 lints organized into configurable categories to catch common mistakes and improve Rust code quality. Lints are categorized by severity (correctness, suspicious, style, complexity, performance) and can be enabled or disabled individually.	ESLint is an open source pluggable linting utility for JavaScript and JSX that statically analyzes code to find problems. Many issues can be automatically fixed, and it integrates with text editors and CI pipelines.
