I would rather assume the reverse theory. Vim users are more likely to use new languages since they don't expect complex IDE support. Or maybe just: Early adopter and vim user correlates.
- allan_s 10y ago(disclaimer: I'm a vim user) Also maybe because rust and vim appeal to the same argument of "performance/only come with the stuff you need"
- kevincox 10y agoTo be fair. With YouCompleteMe and rust-racer support the tooling for Rust in vim is solid.
- qznc 10y agoThat is only completion? IDEs provide more. Refactoring and Debugging, for example. (I'm a vimmer myself, but that is what I hear other people complain about)
- Argorak 10y agoSure, but you have to start somewhere. With the internal representations of Rust still being changing almost weekly, transformational tasks are a chore. Debugging is shipped through Rust support in gdb and rust-gdb, so it is coming. That's the thing about Rust: there's always lots of stuff that is close. We prefer solid over half-baked, and try not to advertise stuff in flight to much.
- weberc2 10y agoI disagree. I'm used to vim-go, and the difference between that and YCM + rust-racer is stark. Rust really needs to catch up here before it can get a larger share of my hobby time.
