I guess this is a feature worth announcing

I think it's a great way to stop understanding what's going on in your terminal. IMHO the value of these nuggets is that you understand what you're doing and why; opening yourself …

This is a major update of functionality, mainly incorporating early feedback, including from HN. The LSP got Zed/nvim & Windows support, was optimized for Bevy, and got significant…

And regarding salsa+rocksdb, actually Alex Kladov advocated exactly for that in the post about Rust Glancer and rust-analyzer architecture: https://matklad.github.io/2026/08/21/rus…

Well, it's hard to give a concise overview, but in short -- I use `wincode` for serde (without zero-copy deserialization though; I've tried zero-copy first with rkyv but it was not…

The exact shape is TBD (I target proc macros support for 0.3.0, whereas 0.2.0 will be about completeness/editors support), but in short -- I'm thinking about "plugin"/DSL architect…

On the first question -- auto imports is an example of a "heavy" functionality since we indeed need to scan more than is imported in the project, which is why I'm still working on …

Yup. Basically, I have been combining both a manager and IC role for years now, which certainly helps working with LLMs: I can "delegate", and I know when to "intervene". It certai…

> So you would essentially fully index only once per project, + whenever you upgrade dependencies or upgrade rustc? This is when you do full reindexing. > Is that only an increment…

Exactly. You pay higher RAM usage price once, for 5-30 seconds at the very beginning of the project (or if you make changes that invalidate the dependency graph, which is rather ra…

I would say that LLMs have really good understanding of LSPs, but they are not necessarily good at building them. Had I blindly followed the proposed flow, Rust Glancer wouldn't ha…

Storing structures mmapp'd is actually very tricky. I have experimented with rkyv initially having this idea in mind, but gave up because the machinery just to power the archive ty…

I will work on creating a more or less fair benchmark soon-ish, but right now the initial indexing typically consumes more RAM than rust analyzer does, but not awfully so. The diff…

Coming in the next release (as well as nvim)!

I’m not sure if RA intentionally uses storage space itself. It can use storage when running build scripts/expanding proc macros, or when running flycheck diagnostics. In both cases…

It's explained in the blog post, but in short: rust-analyzer stores the data it needs in memory all the time, while Rust Glancer might consume more memory during indexing (because …

Well, most of stuff is not really ambiguous: if you have a struct and found its inherent impl for it, then methods from this impl block are related to this structure. If `a` has ty…

Thanks for the coverage and kind words! The title of the post is a bit more ambitious than what I am confident to guarantee, but I'll try my best to live up to it ^_^" Some comment…

In a way. It uses a different architecture, so it's not exactly "RA with something", but the main idea is similar: everything is on the disk, stuff is loaded only when it's needed.…

Hey! Author here. Happy to answer any questions.
