Suggestions for building an IDE
I can live with minimal feature-sets as long as my main workflow is fast and convenient, but implementing these features in a reasonable way is somewhat beyond me at the moment, I've previously looked at the code-bases of ride, helix, and SolidOak where SolidOak is by far the most accessible starting point, it solves the problem of vim-bindings right off the bat, then again packaging vim isn't as fun or educational than starting with less.

Disable Racer and eldoc?
I recently have decided to switch to it full time, and I've encountered some annoyances while developing in Rust in it. The default rust setup uses eldoc combined with racer, which has been deprecated for a while now, for auto completion and stuff like that.

rust-analyzer changelog #113
On the server side, things are better, but RLS is still using racer for completions, which was never quite precise for me, and has a big disclaimer of "use rust-analyzer instead" in the README.
What are some alternatives?
