Conclusion

I know you don't know rust. It's Ok. I Understand Because you belong to other programming languages. Me too... But society will never accept If we can not know RUST. That's why I have to contribute to this article. To contribute to this article I took half day leave from my company.

I don't see JetBrains new dedicated Rust tool on the list, I've been enjoying that one along with Zed. Nice list though.
