1. neovim

3. rust-tools.nvim

   2 90 2,165 0.0 Lua

   Discontinued Tools for better development in rust using neovim's builtin lsp

   rust-tools is a fantastic plugin to setup rust-analyzer with Neovim's LSP .

4. Cargo

   3 270 13,032 10.0 Rust

   The Rust package manager

   

   Access to Cargo commands.

5. tree-sitter-rust

   4 8 372 7.8 JavaScript

   Rust grammar for tree-sitter

   

   Tree-sitter is a fantastic parser generation and incremental parsing library, that supports Rust language bindings and has an available parser Rust tree-sitter-rust.

6. nvim-dap

   5 139 5,836 8.8 Lua

   Debug Adapter Protocol client implementation for Neovim

   There is also the alternative to use nvim-DAP instead of Vimspector. It looks like a fantastic initiative that is getting traction, but I still have not enabled it in my workflow. Definitely worth a look!

7. Lua

   6 120 8,716 8.7 C

   Lua is a powerful, efficient, lightweight, embeddable scripting language. It supports procedural programming, object-oriented programming, functional programming, data-driven programming, and data description.

   rust-analyzer is supported through Neovim's LSP, which essentially give us: Code completion. Some refactoring. Code analysis and linting. Go to definition. Code actions. Access to documentation. Show and go to references. Snippets support. Better syntax highlighting. Code formatting.

9. vimspector

   8 100 4,152 8.5 Vim Script

   vimspector - A multi-language debugging system for Vim

   

   As of today, my prefered method is to use the Vimspector plugin with CodeLLDB.
