Why doesn't rust-analyzer reuse infrastructures of rustc?

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/rust

Our great sponsors
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • Rust Language Server

    Discontinued Repository for the Rust Language Server (aka RLS)

  • In the last there was RLS that did exactly that. But the approach of rust-analyzer was found to be more performant.

  • chalk

    An implementation and definition of the Rust trait system using a PROLOG-like logic solver (by rust-lang)

  • rust-analyzer already uses chalk (https://github.com/rust-lang/chalk) which should replace the current trait resolver.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • polonius

    Defines the Rust borrow checker.

  • There is also polonius (https://github.com/rust-lang/polonius) which should replace the borrow checker but does not receive a lot of development resources.
