I'm still not sure whether a language should include a "kitchen sink linter" like Rust's clippy or have a package oriented "thousand flowers bloom" linter like eslint for JS and TS. Clippy is delightful out of the box but eslint makes it so easy to have project specific lints.

I've been playing with labels on my code blocks. Sometimes I have useful labels, other times it's just "Example 2". It's also unclear exactly where I put the label: Inside the box? Outside? Are there any docs sites that do this really well?

TIL about the box.leak() method in Rust: https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/boxed/struct.Box.html#method.leak This leaks the box, but it also gives you a reference that can live longer! E.g. you can leak a Box<u64> and treat it as 'static. It makes sense, but being able to use a value after leaking is new idea to me.
