Why doesn't rust-analyzer reuse infrastructures of rustc?
In the last there was RLS that did exactly that. But the approach of rust-analyzer was found to be more performant.

[RFC] Generate Cabal files from TOML
LSP support seems to be lacking as well, at least rust doesn't seem to have Cargo.toml support? https://github.com/rust-lang/rls/issues/785

Referencing files in subfolders and difference between borrowing and C like references
apparently, it means that you're using the old RLS-based Rust plugin for VS Code, rather than the rust-analyzer plugin. You probably won't see a lot of people familiar with RLS's error messages.

friendly reminder for our vscode folks, use rust-analyzer
Why: The rust-analyzer extension integrates with rust-analyzer, an alternative language server for Rust. rust-analyzer tends to perform better and get less confused with your code as compared to RLS, which the Rust extension uses.

Show HN: Skruv – No-dependency, no-build, small JavaScript framework
I have tried writing websites with rust instead of JavaScript. Unfortunately, the tooling is just not there. More specifically, I am talking about wasm-bindgen, which provides two-way bindings. The problem with it is that since all the declarations are generated with build.rs, there is no autocompletion. Since I am spoiled by modern tooling, no autocompletion to me means not feasible pass demo stage. (https://github.com/rust-lang/rls/issues/1489)
Aside from the lack of autocompletion, passing rust closures to js land (DOM) is extremely janky as well. However, that might be caused by my lack of experience with rust.
(If you are curious, this is what I made: https://github.com/SCLeoX/non-grid-path-finder)

José Valim The Creator Of The Elixir Programming
Python the core devs don't care about tooling and they have IDE's, Java is an enterprise monolith so IDE's are the standard, Rust yes it is (https://github.com/rust-lang/rls), Elm I have no idea I don't use it.

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?
When comparing Rust Language Server and Racer you can also consider the following projects:
Rustup - The Rust toolchain installer
rust-analyzer - A Rust compiler front-end for IDEs [Moved to: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-analyzer]
rusty-tags - Create ctags/etags for a cargo project
rust-analyzer - A Rust compiler front-end for IDEs
vscode-rust
semantic-rs
YouCompleteMe - A code-completion engine for Vim
Clippy - A bunch of lints to catch common mistakes and improve your Rust code. Book: https://doc.rust-lang.org/clippy/
neon - Rust bindings for writing safe and fast native Node.js modules.
artifact - The open source design documentation tool for everybody
tarpaulin - A code coverage tool for Rust projects
