Can anyone recommend a good IDE for Rust? I was looking a month or 2 ago and there weren't too many options.

Atom with the tokamak plugin is perfect for me, I get code linting, autocompletion and snippets

use `cargo install racer` to get racer which is required for autocompletion

Is the auto-completion compiler(LLVM?)-based or something smart like that? Or is it just lexical/ctags (or similar)?

I don't know, I find it efficient but I don't know what's behind except it's written from scratch (In Rust )) )

You may find more informations on the official github repo:

Racer is written in Rust and simply uses the Rust source code itself to perform code completion. It may be run as a daemon to mitigate latency or as a one-off client. You will have to install the Rust source code somewhere on your system and configure racer to use that source code.

As others have stated, Atom is currently the best IDE/editor for Rust, but Microsoft Visual Studio Code also has really good support with Rusty Code. VIM is another good option, and Emacs works too.

I found a pretty good explanation here on how to configure Atom with other plugins for Rust (ycm). I have to try "tokamak":

I'm pretty sure very few people in this world have emacs (or vim) in mind when they ask for an IDE

Emacs may have been the first IDE
