I decided to learn rust (again) and this time it’s indeed much easier even for complete newcomers, the book does a great job of explaining ownership and they core concepts, and community is much more mature and helpful

For me something that does not drive me into rust or helps me gather internal support is the perception of being a language for hackers and lack of higher level tooling. Kotlin has Android and Android has Android Studio, Swift has macOS and IOS and they have Xcode

JS and TS increasingly having
@code as their big integrated IDE... Being open source, having already a great flexible language and debugger support, I think that an officially backed holistic project to create a Rust and cargo infrastructure around@code would massively help1 reply 2 retweets 10 likes -

Right now, at least in some companies (from experience of one at least),
#rustlang is perceived as a language for people who use Sublime/text editors and manually link together various tools to write, debug, and ship code. This is not the image JS, Java, and Swift give.2 replies 0 retweets 1 like -

We can address the perception dedicating engineering resources to it or ignore it or deny it (not sure if it is just as bad as ignoring it or even worse for CTO level discussions)

Rust is focusing its primary code editing efforts on VSCode, which personally I dislike. I'm more of a Vim person and prefer these kind of things developed in a pluggable way independent of the editor, like what happens with vim-go. Also, what's the problem with this view?

We've done both. The RLS (now distributed through rustup) is a great host for any editor.
@code support is an end-to-end holistic story that uses the RLS for people who just want something that works and also serves as a reference impl for things like vim support.2 replies 1 retweet 2 likes -

Thanks for your replies, appreciated you took the time. I wanted to stress with my message the importance of code refactoring tools, code completion, look static analysis warnings and errors, a powerful debugger+console, and an end to end solution is for many professionals.
