You linked to an issue from over a year ago to support your case? And the solution in that issue was just "switch to the right extension"? That's hardly a compelling argument. By all appearances, that person’s environment was completely broken since they reported the other extension did nothing at all, and a broken environment isn’t really a reflection on the tool. I can set up a broken environment for any tool and then complain about it. The absence of a bunch of other people encountering the same issue in that thread indicates this was not some big issue with rust-analyzer.
If I search for "Rust" in the VS Code Extension Marketplace, it shows the extension you linked to... but it is clearly marked as deprecated, and VS Code won't even let me install it. So, it’s even more of a non-issue today than it was a year ago.
The actual rust-analyzer extension works fine for me. I think Go's tooling is slightly better in my experience, but both are far better than any experience I've had with C++ tooling.
