VSCode has hardly any functionality a modern IDE has unless you had dozens of extensions and then it slows down

- adam_arthur 4y agoIm able to write Rust with full and fast type hinting/intellisense, auto importing, code formatting. This is one of the highest complexity languages from a rules based perspective. Where is the slowness?
- eddsh1994 4y agoI work in Monorepos and trying project(s) wide refactors take way more time sometimes hanging. This is Python vs PyCharm (but also involving JS). I’ve not had issues with Rust but my works rust/C is far smaller LOC so haven’t stressed it enough yet. Saying that I still prefer CLion as it has more features and is just as quick (M1 Max 64GB).
- jen20 4y agoAll of what you just described is made possible by rust-analyzer not VS Code.
- adam_arthur 4y agoExactly my point. The post is about UI being in native for performance reasons, yet most of the processing/heavy logic of an IDE already is, or in a separate thread, even if the UI is in Electron. At which point you're just discussing the performance gap between Canvas rendering and native graphics, which to a large extent disappears with WebGPU.
