Theory is important, but I’m a strong believer in getting your hands dirty (i.e., writing your own code) as soon as possible! To make this a pleasant experience when #LearningRust, you should pick up the IDE that is best for you.

After some experimentation, I settled with RustRover by @jetbrains. It offers a delightful user experience and it’s free for non-commercial use. You should check it out.

Another popular choice is Visual Studio Code equipped with rust-analyzer and other specialized extensions such as Even Better TOML and Prettier Rust.

    This reads as if it was an advertisement, colour me suspicious. And that’s even though I use JetBrains IDE myself

      @sukhmel yeah maybe you’re right. For the record, I’m not getting paid or anything by JetBrains, O’Reilly, etc. Just sharing what I would’ve wanted to have when I started learning Rust. RustRover is as free as VS Code for non-commercial use BTW, so nothing much to advertise here I reckon.

    Looks like the body didn’t fit in the title and cut off?

    Given the lack of expressive title, I’m not even sure what this post is supposed to be. I deduct it’s a random thought/sharing?
