​​Flowistry is a VSCode extension that helps you understand #rust programs with program analysis.

Flowistry uses dataflow analysis and pointer analysis to analyze Rust programs at a deeper level than just types can offer (e.g. as you can already find in rust-analyzer).

Flowistry has five commands:
- Flowistry: Backward Highlight: given a selected variable, this command highlights the backward slice of the variable.
- Flowistry: Backward Select: same as above, but this puts the slice in your selection rather than highlighting it.
- Flowistry: Forward Highlight and Flowistry: Forward Select: same as above, but for forward slices than backward slices.
- Flowistry: Effects: given your cursor is within a particular function, this command opens the effects panel for that function.
