  I disagree with the tweet: > The Rust playground is pretty dope. D*mn near a full blown IDE running in your browser ... I am not a fan of exaggeration. No, it is not ‘near’ a full-blown IDE. That said, I think the Playground is wonderful, especially for a compiled language.

    Agreed. Unless your only requirement for an IDE is text editing and a super convenient compile button, that’s a big time exaggeration.

    Here is a common list of features that comprise modern IDEs: - edit multiple files - search across files - console/terminal - debugging - customizable keyboard shortcuts - source control integration - extensions/plugins Optional: - long startup times - complicated and overly nested settings - run-amok CPU-hogging plugins

      This misses "having an understanding about the source code and associated actions". Like refactoring helpers, autocompletion, etc. This is what distinguishes an IDE from a text editor for me. But anyway, the Rust playground has none of those anyway.

    I'd love a version that could pull in other packages other than the most popular 100 crates. The cargo ecosystem is painfully getting a bit too npm-like and the top100 doesn't always have some basic needs.

      > The cargo ecosystem is painfully getting a bit too npm-like What do you mean by "npm-like"?
