Parity VS rust-analyzer

What got me interested in learning Rust with Ethereum is Reth (Rust Ethereum Execution Layer Client). OpenEthereum was another Rust client that got deprecated earlier in 2022, which is what I think inspired Reth to be made https://github.com/openethereum/openethereum . It sounds like Reth will go live in January/February 2023 https://github.com/paradigmxyz/reth#status they put out a summary here too https://www.paradigm.xyz/2022/12/reth

OpenEthereum | Programming Language = Rust

OpenEthereum v3.2.0 is ready for Berlin.

It's still maintained https://github.com/openethereum/openethereum

For Ethereum, there is Geth, OpenEthereum, Nethermind, among others.

I'm not sure why this was linked. Parity decided to stop developing their Ethereum client and this repo has been sitting unmaintained for about 2 years now, it will almost certainly not successfully sync with mainnet.

The Parity codebase was taken over by new maintainers and turned into OpenEthereum: https://github.com/openethereum/openethereum

However, writing and maintaining an Ethereum client is an exceptional amount of work with very little benefit, the primary OpenEthereum maintainers recently announced they would stop maintaining OpenEthereum and would start pouring their energies into an upcoming client called Erigon. https://medium.com/openethereum/gnosis-joins-erigon-formerly...

Erigon is a much better client.

Also, the Ethereum Foundation doesn't own a lot of the code used in the network. For example, lots of people use OpenEthereum as their client, which is not managed by EF.

I was looking forward to parallel front-end[4], but I have not seen any improvement for these small changes.

For example, intelephense can show diagnostics in real time, there is no need to save the file to get new diagnostics. But rust-analyzer, the language server for rust, can only update diagnostics after saving the file.

6. Rust Analyzer

The rust-analyzer readme suggests you go here for support request. But even there, you'll need to provide more details to get useful help.

For example: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-analyzer/blob/master/docs/...

> If you create an LSP, it will work best in VS Code.

Any editor can work just as well as (or even better than) VS Code.

So, apparently the reason why rust-analyzer, the LSP server for Rust does not have persistent caching is because it would make "optimizing initial passes less important".

All I want to know is: Will it have a build configuration pulldown?

I am not a Rust dev. It surely looks great.

However, from what I understand it seems to supply just a parser separate from the Rust compiler (https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-analyzer/tree/master/crate...) trying to keep up with Rust‘s development. So, in principle, it could have been just another treesitter parser plugin, too.

So, again, the LSP framework does not directly provide any magical benefit over a static parsing framework. All the semantic analysis capabilities stem from a good parser.
