45 | | - |
46 | | -Rust analyzer aims to fill the same niche as the official [Rust Language |
47 | | -Server](https://github.com/rust-lang-nursery/rls), but uses a significantly |
48 | | -different architecture. More details can be found [in this |
49 | | -thread](https://internals.rust-lang.org/t/2019-strategy-for-rustc-and-the-rls/8361), |
50 | | -but the core issue is that RLS works in the "wait until user stops typing, run |
51 | | -the build process, save the results of the analysis" mode, which arguably is the |
52 | | -wrong foundation for IDE. |
53 | | - |
54 | | -Rust Analyzer is an experimental project at the moment, there's exactly zero |

57 | | -The near/mid term plan is to work independently of the main rustc compiler and |
58 | | -implement at least simplistic versions of name resolution, macro expansion and |
59 | | -type inference. The purpose is two fold: |

61 | | -- to quickly bootstrap usable and useful language server: solution that covers |
62 | | - 80% of Rust code will be useful for IDEs, and will be vastly simpler than 100% |
63 | | - solution. |

65 | | -- to understand how the consumer-side of compiler API should look like |
66 | | - (especially it's on-demand aspects). If you have `get_expression_type` |
67 | | - function, you can write a ton of purely-IDE features on top of it, even if the |
68 | | - function is only partially correct. Pluging in the precise function afterwards |
69 | | - should just make IDE features more reliable. |
