Should lint suppressions be first class syntax or comments?
Adding a proper metadata system (e.g. Clojure or Rust) is a big design space but it's clear which expressions are affected.
Comments are much easier to implement but it's easy for users to get them wrong.
Thoughts?
It's really nice having build metadata in your binary (commit date, build date), but it's nice having a reproducible build from a tarball too.
I'm not sure what the best approach is.
I still associate gdb with "issue that will be tricky to debug", but I used it today with Rust. Everything just worked.
I was investigating some stack overflows and all the metadata was correct and readable. I was pleasantly surprised :)
