Rust with rust-analyzer is IMHO very good nowadays, probably on par if not better than the experience with C++ on paid IDEs. The fact Rust grammar is context-free makes writing tools way easier because there's way less room for breakage, unlike when you write an extra > in C++ and parsing burns down in flames.
- steveklabnik 4y ago(Rust’s grammar is technically not context free but the part that’s context sensitive is rarely used and even more rarely at a depth greater than one, so you’re right in spirit but I feel the need to be a bit pedantic about it for fairness’ sake)
- qalmakka 4y ago(I know, but if you take raw literals out of the equation it more or less is, thankfully you can implement raw literals as a big huge lexer hack and ignore it during parsing. There's also macros, which are a separate pickle, but then the user more or less expects they may cause some magic, sure it's vastly better than `bob<flop>(blaz)` which is not sane in any metric I can think of)
