This is already a thing, I do this right now. You configure the linter to forbid panics, unwraps, and even arithmetic side effects at compile time.

You can configure your lints in your workspace-level Cargo.toml (the folder of crates)

“””

[workspace.lints.clippy]

pedantic = { level = "warn", priority = -1 }

# arithmetic_side_effects = "deny"

unwrap_used = "deny"

expect_used = "deny"

panic = "deny"

“””

then in your crate Cargo.toml “””

[lints]

workspace = true

“””

Then you can’t even compile the code without proper error handling. Combine that with thiserror or anyhow with the backtrace feature and you can yeet errors with “?” operators or match on em, map_err, map_or_else, ignore them, etc
