TIL rustc has a style guide for suggestions! https://rustc-dev-guide.rust-lang.org/diagnostics.html#suggestion-style-guide They recommend avoiding 'did you mean' or 'the following' in favour of direct suggestions and highlighted positions.

Discoverability on Mastodon is hard: I find myself using hashtags more to discover people. I'm not aware of any suggestion tools here ("you follow A and B, you might want to follow C"). I'm getting a stream of new followers, which is a great way of finding people, but some users have no toots at all yet.

A delightful suggestion from the Rust compiler: you have no field of that name, looks like you need to access it via another field! Adding a snazzy compiler error is a rarely used feature (in each individual case), but it's wonderful when you hit that case.
