It's always seemed odd to me that the Rust stdlib is so lean (no random numbers, regex, HTTP) yet clippy is so big (correctness, performance, style preferences, even 'too many arguments').
Maybe it's because cargo is mature but clippy doesn't have an extension ecosystem?

In many respects I feel an LLM benefits from a monorepo. I've vibe coded a bunch of helper CLIs recently and end up repeating the same preferences for all of them.
I want all my CLIs to use clippy, parse arguments with clap, etc. They're distinct tools in distinct repos though.

Claude asked me a question today: was I looking for an Emacs plugin (because I was talking about elisp) or a Rust program (because I have configured Rust preferences)?
I'm really impressed, it's rare to see LLMs ask follow-up questions.
(I wanted Emacs in this case.)
