Finally, good Rust IDE support in VSCode: rust-analyzer!

As a VSCode user I've long been dissatisfied with the state of Rust IDE support. The official Rust Language Server plugin could not handle our large multi-crate project. A few months ago I tried "rust-analyzer" and was pleasantly surprised to discover that even though it's officially "alpha", it works really well for me. I'll give a demo, showing the major features I use and how they make me more productive, and talk a bit about what to expect from rust-analyzer in the future.
