gdextension VS godot-vscode-plugin

> Same for Godot.

While likely true that it's "Unlikely to ever be as supported" as the 4 officially supported languages[0] ("GDScript, C#, and, via its GDExtension technology, C and C++."), Godot's GDExtension technology is specifically intended for use in adding support for other languages.

The most relevant tracking issue for Rust is presumably:

The Rust binding for GDExtension is still at an early stage as advertised by the ReadMe, but we're making steady progress. Thanks to active contributors, the last month has been very productive, with support for arrays, dictionaries, vectors, transforms, single/double precision, as well as several bugfixes and higher test coverage.

Worth noting that with Godot being 'built in' matters less - C# is a first class language in Godot 4 but it also isn't built in, because the engine can be extended with fully integrated language plugins. This is a new thing in Godot 4, Rust is being added in the same way but isn't ready yet.

An example would be Lua and Rust bindings.

Hi, I've created a plugin that replicates the functionality of the godot-vscode plugin for viewing documentation with the LSP server. You can customize it to open documentation in different types of views (tabs, split, floating).

Found this for next time you need to try GDscript on vscode https://github.com/godotengine/godot-vscode-plugin

I downloaded VSCode and installed the official add-on. Initially I had an error connecting the language server, but I corrected the remote port number and it connected. Then I tried to refactor some function or variable, but I get the message "No refactorings available". Also, an attempt to switch to a custom method from another script (CTRL + LMB) either does not give anything, or if there is a variable with the same name in the same script, it issues it.

Found a fix for the syntax highlighting. It's a bug caused by conflicts with another extension (jjkim.gdscript). Disabling/uninstalling the other extension fixed the problem.

Debugging is not yet functional I think, https://github.com/godotengine/godot-vscode-plugin/pull/400

Yeah, seems like that's the case. There's additional_options added already, however it's not included in the latest stable release. But you can download the development build and install it in the VS Code instead (Extensions: Install from VSIX command). Then adding "additional_options": "--position 0,0", worked for me, just tested it.
