The Rust compiler, at the time of writing, has 70 lints. We will not check all 70, but we will take a look at the most relevant ones. Let's first start by learning how to configure a lint. We will take unused_imports as an example. The compiler will warn you for this lint by default. The compilation will continue, but it will show a warning in the command line, or in the editor if it's configured to show Rust compilation warnings.
We can change this behavior, and we can change it for each scope. The options are allow, warn, deny, and forbid the lint. If we allow the lint, no more warnings will appear. If we warn, compilation warnings will appear, and if we deny or forbid, the program won't compile if it finds something that triggers the lint.
