Bacon is a Rust code checker designed for minimal interaction, allowing users to run it alongside their editor to receive real-time notifications about warnings, errors, or test failures (I like having it show clippy’s hints).

It prioritizes displaying errors before warnings, making it easier to identify critical issues without excessive scrolling.

Screenshot (from an old version I think):

v3 adds support for cargo-nextest, plus some QoL improvements.

v3.0.0 release notes

    Shouldn’t errors be in the bottom of the output if you don’t want to scroll?

      It shows the top line, so you just read top to bottom (and can scroll if you want).
