Did you know that the Tooling Subcommittee has put together a process for submitting tools which are or potentially could be used for safety-critical systems development in Rust?

We addressed a few long-standing issues which were becoming troublesome
- cleaner word-wrap on text
- proper spacing without crowding between paragraphs
- code blocks don't wrap, but allow horizontal scroll

We'd also heard that it's important to be able to include more compliant and non-compliant examples of the coding guideline to ensure clarity, so we upped the number of each.

We've improved the guidance on how to use the coding guideline that's been converted from Markdown to reStructuredText and -- we now test all code examples in the submitted guideline!

Another challenge we were facing is the growing number of contributions (a good thing!) causing a bit of review slow-down and then merge conflicts.

To resolve this, we changed from having each chapter contain all guideline sources to instead breaking each guideline into its own file, then including

It was important that we catch the code examples in the guidelines early, before we have a large proliferation of coding guidelines and fixing the examples would have become painful.

Screenshots show what running the script locally looks like to extract and test the example code.

A couple of significant upgrades to contributing to our coding guidelines:
- all example code is now extracted and tested
- each guideline exists as its own source file

These both fall under our contributor experience label and we take these seriously.

Hey there 👋 are you aware of the Safety-Critical Rust Consortium? 🦀🦺

We were founded about a year and a half ago with the mission to make Rust a first-class choice when starting a safety-critical systems project (think trains, planes and automobiles -- and more).
