Being alpha quality and providing better experience than RLS are not incompatible. rust-analyzer is definitely alpha-quality at the moment.

- dunkelheit 7y agoSure, it is a good idea to be upfront about the current state of the project. Still I think I am not mistaken in my impression that you don't wish for rust-analyzer to become popular too early as that would put some unwanted constraints on experimentation. BTW, thanks the project and good luck! I use it daily and it is awesome.

You are not mistaken indeed. More specifically, I do want to maintain freedom of pushing completely broken code. It's not necessary about popularity, it's about user expectations. And I also don't allocate as much time as I could into things that directly increase popularity. Like, the "install extension from the market place" could have been done almost a month ago, but I still haven't got to it. It's not that I am deliberately pushing back against such improvements, I just don't push them forward to actively.
