The old plugin is deprecated, but the new plugin installs fine into CLion. The question is how long that will be the case.
Because I work at a company that is mostly C++, with some Rust. My team's project is 90% Rust, but I still need to do C++ now and then. I'd be super annoyed to lose that.
They should at least continue to offer the plugin as a paid expansion option for CLion.
Yeah, the future is a big question. Here is quote from some mail:
> As said in the announcement, RustRover is available as a plugin to IntelliJ IDEA during the preview period. However, we have yet to determine whether this will be the case once we’ve released RustRover.
This is because we’re still not certain whether users will need the plugin or whether a dedicated Rust IDE will be sufficient. Around the release time, when we make our decision.
We’ll also consider the cases when IntelliJ IDEA licenses were primarily bought for Rust development with the IntelliJ Rust plugin and which options we can suggest to our users in these cases. Please stay tuned!
