I used to spend my entire life inside Visual Studio, but my life has mostly moved to VS Code, where the Rust Analyzer extension provides a really nice experience. Granted, on rare occasions the extension fails for some byzantine reason, and language support in VS has always been rock solid, but would it really be that much better than life within VSCode? I'm not sure, but maybe it would?
- binary132 2y agoWhat differentiates this from any other editor with a Rust plugin? Visual Studio is an entirely different animal.
- vsnf 2y agoI guess that’s my point though. What is desirable about Visual Studio itself these days that one would need Rust support in it? I don’t see it as having much of an edge, especially in areas where tight Windows integration isn’t necessary.
- binary132 2y agoIMO VS proper has a lot of great features, especially around runtime analysis, profiling, debugging, etc. I’m pretty annoyed that they only offer the full-fledged version for Windows. I’m an Emacs user on Linux, Mac, and windows, but I will drop into VS at times when command-line debugging isn’t satisfactory. That said, I haven’t sorted out DAP yet.
