I think I’m going to start learning Rust. Can anyone suggest a good IDE to use?

    rust-analyzer is a pretty good LSP, and works in most modern text editors.

    My advice? Just pick an editor and stick to it.

    VSCode? Sure.

    Jetbrains? Good choice.

    Hell, Emacs? Why not?

    I personally use Neovim, and it just works. No matter what I’m programming in, I’m still at home.

    Just pick an editor that works for you. I’d suggest VSCode. Use VSCodium for a true FOSS experience, or Helix for a beginner friendly terminal editor.

    If you really just want something Rust-focused, there’s RustRover from Jetbrains, but that’s about it.

          As are all their products.

          And it will be freaking awesome.

            I mean, I mostly wanted to point that out because OP prefers FOSS, but I did think at least their IntelliJ Community Edition was open-source.
            But I just checked their website and it says “Free, built on open source”, arguably the worst option, although I guess, it’s what the MIT folks want.

            I just hate how people overwhelmingly recommend proprietary editors. It’s the one thing you’d think the FOSS community should be exceedingly good at.
