  • Disable Racer and eldoc?
    1 project | /r/DoomEmacs | 5 Feb 2022
    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
    4 projects | /r/rust | 17 Jan 2022
    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.
