Have you tried racer? It seems quite similar, and apparently it does more (see [1]).

I mean, I agree in the abstract that yes, having tooling and a bigger library ecosystem matters a lot. But the things you've cited so far (code completion and an AWS library) are things that Rust does have. I'd be more interested in hearing specific problems with those.

Have you tried the go-plus (https://atom.io/packages/go-plus) tooling?

Really, please try it out. That's the kind of experience that's really missing from rust; autocomplete, fmt, test watcher, linter, code coverage, debugger, doc summary; you hit install and it works.

Racer isn't there yet.
