It's cool! I didn't take it as a jab :)

I meant this extension: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=webfreak...

> The normal Rust plugin

Which one are you talking about? There are three of them: one is abandoned.

> you can install the Rust plugin with IntelliJ Community Edition. Which is free.

My understanding is that you can install it, but it does not include debugging support, that's what you have to pay for.



It's just the plugin called Rust. I tried the other ones, but they were not better.

>it does not include debugging support

That's a bit sad, but I haven't had debugging support in VSCode until now. I'd pick good code completion and error hints over debugging. Both would be nice though.

How do you configure that Native Debug plugin for Rust?


Gotcha, yeah it's RustyCode that's the outdated one. Rust(rls) is the one provided by the Rust team.

exactly the same way that it says on the page; choose gdb or lldb, change target to point to the executable, and you're good to go.
