A deprecated open-source Rust plugin for IntelliJ-based IDEs, providing language support, Cargo integration, and debugging features.
What is intellij-rust?
intellij-rust was an open-source plugin that added Rust programming language support to JetBrains' IntelliJ Platform IDEs. It provided developers with syntax highlighting, code completion, Cargo project management, debugging capabilities, and other essential tools for Rust development within familiar JetBrains environments. The plugin has been officially deprecated as JetBrains now offers newer Rust development tools.
Rust developers who prefer using JetBrains IDEs like IntelliJ IDEA, CLion, or PyCharm for their development workflow. It was particularly valuable for those wanting professional IDE features like advanced code analysis, debugging, and project management within the IntelliJ ecosystem.
This plugin offered a free, open-source alternative to commercial Rust IDEs while providing deep integration with the IntelliJ Platform's powerful tooling. Developers could leverage familiar JetBrains workflows, keyboard shortcuts, and UI patterns while working with Rust, creating a consistent development experience across multiple programming languages.
