I’m a hobbyist programmer, mostly in JavaScript, but I’d like to learn Rust. I’d like to use an open-source IDE that supports Language Server Protocol. I’m currently using WebStorm, which is not open-source, and doesn’t support LSP. I’ve checked out VS Codium, which is open-source and does support LSP, but it seems like it’s a hobbled version of VS Code that still phones home to Microsoft.
Are there and other IDEs that are FOSS and that support LSP?
Edit: Thanks everybody. I’m taking the path of least resistance and sticking with Webstorm and IntelliJ.
Vscode (and vscodium) is not really an IDE but an advanced and extensible text editor. You know what is also an advanced and extensible text editor? Neovim
Neovim works well for me. If you want to get some IDE-like features out of the box you can try AstroNvim https://github.com/AstroNvim/AstroNvim. I also use rust-tools for some extra features: https://github.com/simrat39/rust-tools.nvim
An IDE is one of those things that earns itself back very quickly imo. If I compare my hourly rate to what a yearly subscription of intellij costs it’s a no-brainer
Install Neovim along with the LazyVim You’ll get almost everything configured.
Maybe that’s what I should do. I’ve just recently moved back to VS Code from Neovim due to my constant issues with the LSP I was using. I would open a file, make some changes, and then return to the file tree along with a bunch of LSP warnings (as if the file tree was a file). LazyVim sounds like exactly what I want, if the name is accurate.
Emacs with lsp-mode is my preferred environment for Rust development!
