IDE Recommendation

VSCode

Some plugins to recommend:

Rust Syntax: provides a TextMate grammar for Rust.
rust-analyzer: an implementation of Language Server Protocol for the Rust programming language. It provides features like completion and goto definition for many code editors, including VS Code, Emacs and Vim.
crates: helps Rust developers managing dependencies with Cargo.toml.
Even Better Toml: a TOML language support extension.
Rust Test Lens: adds a code lens to quickly run or debug a single test for your Rust code.
