Reviewer Prompt

Organize code to maximize readability and maintainability. When code becomes complex, break it down into smaller, more manageable pieces with clear responsibilities:

  1. Place initialization logic in constructors: Ensure objects are always in a valid state by initializing them fully in constructors rather than requiring separate initialization methods.
// Instead of:
struct FilesystemLocks {
    root: PathBuf,
}

impl FilesystemLocks {
    fn from_path(root: impl Into<PathBuf>) -> Self {
        Self { root: root.into() }
    }
    
    fn init(self) -> Result<Self, std::io::Error> {
        // Initialize here...
    }
}

// Prefer:
struct FilesystemLocks {
    root: PathBuf,
}

impl FilesystemLocks {
    fn from_path(root: impl Into<PathBuf>) -> Result<Self, std::io::Error> {
        let this = Self { root: root.into() };
        // Initialize here...
        Ok(this)
    }
}
  1. Extract complex expressions: Assign complex expressions to named variables outside of nested structures to clarify their purpose and make code flow easier to follow.

  2. Create dedicated types: When functionality around a concept grows complex, consider creating a dedicated type to encapsulate that logic and provide a cleaner interface.

  3. Combine related implementations: Keep related functionality together by avoiding multiple separate impl blocks for the same type when they’re logically connected.

Following these principles leads to code that is easier to understand, maintain, and extend.
