Helix text editor
Neovim with coc-rust-analyzer.
There’s also coc-rls.
Neovim. Its awesome with the rust plugin. Everything works and it’s fast.
Wow, no one mentioning IntelliJ?? I use the free edition with Rust and it works great… the only thing missing is a debugger, which requires the CLion distribution which is not free… but so far that hasn’t been a big problem for me.
neovim. I’ve been using vim or neovim for >25 years and it’s changed how my mind works to the point that other editors are awkward. I can also reliably find some form of vi on any machine I log onto and, while I am not necessarily writing Rust on a random machine at work, having to learn just one program for editing is nice.
I’m ignorant and putter around with WebStorm as an IDE, but I’d like to ditch it. Does neovim have similar functionality? I thought it was more of a text editor.
I have stayed as far as I can from web development for about 10 years so I can’t answer that question.
You’re wise. The entire JavaScript ecosystem is really great and hot garbage at the same time.
I am not a hardcore programmer, but anytime I code anything, I use vscodium. It is VScode without the microsoft telemetry.
That sounds great! Does it support the plugins as well?
It has the same plugin system, but they pull from Open VSX rather than Microsoft’s extension marketplace. If there’s an extension not available there, you can still download it from Microsoft’s marketplace and then add it manually.
It’s also possible to swap out the extension registry entirely and still use Microsoft’s marketplace instead of Open VSX in VSCodium.
I figured this was possible, but I guess I never searched for the solution. Thank you!
vscode. I think anything that supports LSP works well with rust, but my vscode setup is comfy enough and devcontainers are rather nice.
VsCode because I’m basic like that :^)
I used VSCode for a few months and tried the CLion free trial after missing some of the features from IntelliJ I use at work. I think CLion edges out just a little, but not by much. Both have some rough patches.
Next time I pick up a Rust project I want to try neovim; I keep ending in tutorial hell for vim and never actually building anything with it. But before that, I think I want to ditch my Windows OS all together and pick some Linux distro, something I’ve been putting off a very long time.
Try Linux Mint. It’s made for people who are coming over from Windows. You’ll find it feels very familiar.
This was also the distribution I chose when first moving away from Windows and I can definitely recommend it. The vast majority of things worked out of the box, and people on the Linux Mint forum were very helpful in solving my remaining issues.
No one has said Emacs yet, I was a long time vim/neovim user but switched a couple of years ago, still learning rust but it’s been pretty comfy so far, plus I can wash my dishes in it.
I use Emacs for just about everythinhg, including Rust dev. It’s fantastic!
Emacs is the best vim implementation.
Emacs is a great operating system but lacks a good text editor
IDK what you’re talking about, Vim runs great on there.
