I used to code with sublime and compile from time to time to check with compiler. Sometimes I’d go for an hour without running cargo and somehow it worked fine.<p>I have been doing rust since about 2016, in and out, and never questioned the approach but the tooling had improved dramatically in recent years.<p>I have switched to VSCode with rust-analyser and a few other extensions, which not only display errors but also types of variables which seems like a killer feature for me because it makes it so much easier.<p>I wonder what’s the motivation behind bacon given that it looks a bit outdated to program in rust this way in 2024.
