On: RustRover – A standalone Rust IDE

[wink]

Waiting 5-10 minutes for a moderately sized project to be indexed until you can do anything useful is perfection? Ouch :P

[pjerem → wink]

Those IDEs are clearly made for big projects you work on for months/years.

Indexing is far less than 5 mins (more 1 min for a big project) and is cached. It only happens the first time you load a project.

Maybe you are of bad faith on this one.

[wink → pjerem]

Mine indexes every time I boot it up, per project, so sometimes several times per week, fortunately not every day.

No, no bad faith, it's simply my number one pain point.

Imagine there are people who work on different repos/projects. Just quickly opening another up during a call? Maybe wait 5 minutes. This is decent hardware on an SSD. We're not talking about 10 year old 2m LOC mammoths, but also not "I expect it to start up in 3s like an editor and not an IDE".

I suffered that exact same issue for a very long time with IntelliJ.

If you haven't tried upgrading yet, I'd recommend it. They did a huge amount of work to address the issue, and from my experience, it's significantly better in 2023.2.
