  • [Experimental] Auto find Rust executables for DAP | Linux
    1 project | /r/neovim | 20 Aug 2023
    This is not a robust solution to the problem. I haven't worked on a large Rust project, so I do not know if this is valid for all kinds of Rust projects. Maybe there is a better debugging config setups/plugins out there (simrat39/rust-tools.nvim is one from what I have searched for). I plan to keep using this config, till it breaks; and try and fix it when it does.

    I'd start with nvim-treesitter, nvim-lspconfig, and use rust-tools.nvim as an accelerant. Any remaining advice I'd have is about Neovim but not about Rust. That advice would also be mostly questions of taste for this-or-that decisions.

    1 project | /r/neovim | 7 May 2023
    TIL that if you install Rust via Homebrew (like brew install rust), auto formatting (or more specifically, lsp formatting) doesn't work properly. I used both Rust Analyzer and rust-tools) to setup rust lsp and configured it with tons of options, thinking maybe something will work but somehow, one thing never did - auto formatting. This is the command I use for setting up auto formatting via lsp:

  • Mun v0.4.0 released
    4 projects | /r/rust_gamedev | 13 Dec 2022
    For those of you who haven’t heard of Mun before, Mun is an embeddable programming language empowering creation through iteration. The idea to create Mun originated out of frustration with the Lua dynamic scripting language and a desire to have similar hot reloading functionality available in Rust. As such, it’s not a direct competitor with Rust, but instead is intended to be used with Rust (or C/C++) as a host/embedded language pairing. Actually, Mun is completely written in Rust, building on similar crates as rust-analyzer and rustc. Its key features include:
