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.
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. Customizing Neovim might be scary at first, but there are lots of resources to learn from and you can basically do anything you want with it.
I’ve been using lunarvim, I haven’t had to make any changes for the past year. I’m liking it, simply because before with vim I never quite got it to a point where I was 100% happy with it. Of course it’s great that the cusomizability exists.
It’s on the lighter side, but Kate supports LSP. I’ve used it with a different compiled language (I didn’t do much, but did have different compilation commands). Also note that I don’t actually use KDE so that has nothing to do with it.
Wow I had no idea Kate had support for LSP after using plasma distros for years. I always assumed it was a basic text editor and used vim instead.
Emacs with lsp-mode is my preferred environment for Rust development!
Install Neovim along with the LazyVim You’ll get almost everything configured.
I use Visual Studio Code mostly when I code. I have also used CLion with the Rust plugin https://www.jetbrains.com/rust/
It’s not really FOSS since it has a subscription cost.I wish Geany had LSP support.
