In this series of short blog posts, we are going to take a closer look at the key Rust-related features available in JetBrains IDEs through our corresponding plugin. However, before we do that, let me briefly remind you about the current state of the Rust plugin: It is available in all our IntelliJ-based IDEs. It relies on the Cargo build system, and CLion is no exception here. The debugging feature for Rust code is currently only available in CLion. While macros are essential for Rustaceans, they can be finicky from time to time. Fortunately, there are tools around to help ease

One of our most frequent feature requests for CLion is the ability to use project or build systems other than CMake. There are many good reasons for needing to use something different - but if you could only pick one we still feel CMake is the best choice. That’s not because we think it is perfect (although it’s worth noting that some of the issues that people have with it may be addressed by focusing on “Modern CMake”). Instead it’s because CMake is in very widespread use - especially in the open-source world, where it has become the de-facto standard. CMake also has the advantage that it
