> I think Rust has the _potential_ to be better, but it's years off and requires the rust community to change how they think.

The said change already happened and Rust devs are currently refactoring in depth their compiler to make it IDE-friendly (taking a lot of inspiration from Roslyn). This is tons of work though and even if it's currently going well, it won't be there before next year.

See this talk if you're interested in this kind of things: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=7_7ckOKZCJE&list=PLgC1L0fKd7Uk...

oh interesting, it turns out I don't follow rust closely enough :)

I think when rust tooling gets "there", it's going to be able to do some really cool things that no one else can do.

(The work is also directly inspired by the C# work)

That's what I meant when I said it was inspired by Roslyn. Did I miss other things from C# that Rust is borrowing* here?
