    - It'd be nice to handle features like refactors/assists/lightbulbs. That's going to result in a bunch of de novo code needs to exist outside of a standard compiler, not counting all the supporting infrastructure.

    Rust tried something similar in 2017 with the Rust Language Server (RLS, https://github.com/rust-lang/rls). It worked, but most people found it too slow because it was invoking a batch compiler on every keystroke.

  • 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.

    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

    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.

    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
    10 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 7 Apr 2021
    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.

    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.
