Not to mention Rust is only now in 2020 starting to get actual IDE support. For C++ there are at least 8 major production GUI IDEs available, plus a few TUI ones too, plus dozens and dozens of specialized tools around it.

Actually thats an empty argument, I'm responding to someone saying rust doesn't have IDE support. It does, I use it every day and it works great. Not saying c++ doesn't just saying it worked better for me than the MS c++ vscode extension.

  The person you are responding to is talking about an actual IDE, not an extension to VS Code. rust-analyzer is great and we have waiting for it a long, long time. But it is not an IDE. Neither is the MS C++ extension.

    what? Yes it is, vscode was built to be powered by extensions and they work great. I've been using vscode for the last 5 years for all kinds of languages and have never though to myself "I wish I had an IDE"

      You can also do all your work in a raw text editor, yet you prefer VS Code. Same distinction for an actual IDE. The Rust and C++ extensions are very far from what an IDE offers. They only handle basic debugging and code completion/browsing. With a few more extensions you can a bit better, but again, you are doing the job that an IDE is supposed to solve for you.

        I guess I'll take Rust is my no good "editor" over c++ in a "proper IDE", don't think thats gonna sell most people

    CLion has excellent Rust support, among other IDEs..

      Yeah, JetBrains has been the first major player to bite, but what others do you know of?
