Introducing RustRover – A Standalone Rust IDE by JetBrains | The IntelliJ Rust Blog
“When will there be a Rust IDE?”
Why is this necessary? I thought we've moved past language-specific IDEs.
We have? JetBrains never has stopped offering them.
Who wouldn't want an experience tailored to their main language? I certainly favor PyCharm over Ultimate
Yea, I was thinking the same. I have the JetBrains toolbox, and already have these installed:
I don't really get why they need to make 10 different IDEs for every language, instead of just consolidating everything into a single UI/IDE.
For pricing it doesn't make that much sense, anyone that wants more than 2 JetBrains products is better off buying the entire toolbox.
I'm still waiting for Cobolilissimo and Fortransformer...
Totally agree but weren't they working on an all-in-one IDE? I think it was Fleet
This is likely just rebranded intellij with some rust specific plugins and some UI adjustments like pycharm, goland, etc.
All the JetBrains IDEs feel like basically the same platform with different plugins and tweaks.
They wanted to showcase again that if you contribute to an open source project under a CLA, ie. the previous Rust plugin for Intellij, they will take your contributions, make them close source and sell them back to you.
They don't require CLA, since it's MIT license. So what they showcase is the benefit of copyleft.

I would've liked it more if they didn't deprecated IntelliJ Rust in favor of RustRover, I liked being able to write Rust in any JetBrains IDE if I needed it, now I'm stuck with an old, unsupported version of the plugin.
Well, you can still have the up-to-date plugin, you just have to pay for it now.
funny
Your username gave me anxiety.
u and me both
agreed
I liked using CLion for both Rust and C++, now I see they outright deprecated the Rust plugin
