Chapter 4: Rustc and Cargo

When writing and compiling Rust code, you have several tools at your disposal, depending on your preferred workflow and environment. Popular Integrated Development Environments (IDEs) like VSCode or editors written in Rust, such as Helix and Lapce, are widely used for Rust development. These tools often integrate with rust-analyzer, a powerful extension providing features like code completion, real-time syntax checking, and navigation aids. You can also choose to use any other text editor of your choice, as Rust is highly flexible regarding development environments.
