IntelliJ IDEA + VSCode = Fleet
It seems to be proprietary 😞 . At least IDEA Community Edition has permissive license. What I don’t like about JetBrains is the exaggerated resource consumption of their products.
It sounds like resource consumption would be improved with this, as you could run the IDE core on a server, or disable it when you dont need it.
I use Intellij with Rust all the time, and its pretty good but could be so much better if all the rough edges were smoothed. For example some files dont have syntax highlighting, and inspections like dead code search dont work. If they make progress on that, i would consider switching from foss intellij.
Well, heavy or not, open or close, JB have one of the best IDE’s out there. Not for nothing have Netbeans and Eclipse fallen off the radar of developers, especially in the Java and related fields.
BTW I use Emacs (spacemacs) for Rust dev.
