• rust-analyzer

  207 9,320 10.0 Rust

  Discontinued A Rust compiler front-end for IDEs [Moved to: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-analyzer] (by rust-analyzer)

  

The extensions we use are listed here: https://github.com/rust-analyzer/rust-analyzer/blob/master/docs/dev/lsp-extensions.md

• vim-lsp

  81 3,005 6.8 Vim Script

  async language server protocol plugin for vim and neovim

I use vim-lsp and ALE. In my case, ALE is used strictly for "fixers" (e.g. rustfmt/gofmt/etc.) and linters (when lints are not part of the language server).

• ale

  133 13,276 8.7 Vim Script

  Check syntax in Vim/Neovim asynchronously and fix files, with Language Server Protocol (LSP) support

  

But for one, signature help, which I quite like, seems to have not yet been implemented.

• Visual Studio Code

  2,840 158,095 10.0 TypeScript

  Visual Studio Code

  

Yes, there is a clear winner VS Code + rust-analyzer.

• coc-rust-analyzer

  16 1,108 8.6 TypeScript

  rust-analyzer extension for coc.nvim

CoC creates a VSCode like environment inside Vim, allowing easy porting of VSCode extension. This means that coc-rust-analyzer is a port of the VSCode extension for rust-analyzer that the rust-analyzer developers themselves are maintaining.

• LanguageClient-neovim

  11 3,539 0.0 Rust

  Language Server Protocol (LSP) support for vim and neovim.

Might migrate to Neovim's native LSP support at some point, however I find vim-lsp more feature complete out of the box. I used to use LanguageClient-neovim, however, I missed proper support for signature help.
