Use `rust-analyser` instead of `racer` for autocompletion about irust HOT 7 CLOSED

+1 racer is no longer in development as I'm sure you know. Also, it does not build anymore and using a nightly rustc is not a good experience.

I'm happy to say, that I have a working prototype with ra, if some one want to test or give some technical feedback the code is here https://github.com/sigmaSd/IRust/compare/ra?expand=1

PR #117

from irust.

Hello, thanks for checking out the project

It is of course on my radar, I don't believe I will have time for it though

Racer have some advantages worth mentioning:

• it requires no additional dependencies from irust side
• ra requires at least more then 100mb the first time it spawned then it will keep growing

I believe that ra support needs to be added sooner or later, the only immediate problems is the work needed and that the benefit want be obvious initially to the user since irust would also need some changes to make a really good use of ra ( like maybe nicer auto completion ux, goto definition support, etc)

If someone wants to take this I think https://github.com/helix-editor/helix/tree/master/helix-lsp is the easiest implementation to copy.

Thank you. I will be looking at it as soon as I can, but Rust right now is personal time, so harder to get in front of me.

This doesn't seem to work on Windows, helix does fyi. How can I tell rust-analyzer is enabled?
