Hey, one of my side projects is to slowly make a Nim linter

I already have one prototype at 
nim-linter<[https://github.com/alehander42/nim-linter](https://github.com/alehander42/nim-linter)>
 and some DSL-s for loading tokens and AST and walking AST. I might need to 
work a bit on the compiler to get enough type info for some checks, but 
otherwise it seems the linter should have enough input for a lot of checks

So, what would be the most useful checks for you?

I've already listed several examples, I have some more in mind, and one can see 
which are the most useful checks in other libraries (e.g. Rubocop, go/rust 
linters, AutoPEP)

Several possible categories are:

Styling and layout Logic: e.g. weird conditions, possible bug Metrics Idiomatic 
code

If you have any other comments / ideas about the nim-linter architecture, 
"isn't that compiler's job?"(no) or linting in general, feel free to discuss!
