i can't recall a time where having to annotate a binding with mut actually saved me. it's just typing and one more compile/lint cycle i have to go through to get my code to compile
Conversation
I'm fairly convinced i prefer _reading_ code with mut on variables. It gives me immediate hints whether I'm reading something that's done in an imperative vs. functional way

yes, basically this. YMMV of course

I've already previously advocated for having rustc emit "fixits" for errors it knows unambiguously how to fix, like clang does, which IDEs can apply automatically

this is the goal of rustfix, in part. cc

Would be neat to do that for imports. Also give you the option to select from possible imports when it's not ambiguous.

Which direction? Adding imports from suggestions works in vscode. And for getting rid of unused imports, I opened github.com/rust-lang/rust just yesterday!

I think I might have been using the stable rls, but I'm switching my machines back to nightly since it was announced rustfmt/rls were going to be guaranteed to not disappear from the nightly rustup.
