> it crashes process IDs more often than Justin Bieber crashes Maseratis: https://github.com/rust-lang/vscode-rust/issues/890 So -- this guy used an extension (named Rust) with rust-analyzer, a configuration known to not work, it didn't work(!), and the extension author recommends he tries the extension made for rust-analyzer. Hardly a case for the ages. Guy uses unsupported config and things don't work? > What clangd does is work. Don't doubt it. I'm just saying -- I haven't had any problems with the rust-analyzer extension since it became the Rust default. But, yes, I had a few hiccups and crashes beforehand, no doubt. I just have to imagine it's both younger, and doing more/different things than clangd.

Well we could start with the fact that it crashes process IDs more often than Justin Bieber crashes Maseratis: https://github.com/rust-lang/vscode-rust/issues/890 (it’s always LLVM’s fault, I know). Or move right along to the insane configuration hacks that are mandatory if you want anything upmarket of VSCode (who doesn’t need a little practice with their Emacs Lisp), or the N^2 whatever that happens when you point it at bindgen output. What clangd does is work.
