Summary of Are we *actually* IDE yet? A look on the Rust IDE Story - Igor Matuszewski

00:00:00 - 00:20:00

The Rust language has undergone several changes over the past few years, most notably the introduction of the intelligent for Rust tool. This video covers the history of the Rust IDE and its current capabilities. The Rust language server protocol (LSP) was initially created as a way to improve the Rust IDE. The protocol allows for communication between the Rust compiler and the IDE, allowing for auto-completion and code formatting. The Save Analysis feature uses the data from the protocol to power jump the definition in the editor. Rust's IDE, RLS, has been in development for some time, with a 1.0 release candidate announced in 2018. There are still some issues to be resolved, but overall the project is progressing well.
