What options should I use for rust programming for nvim?

submitted by ZeDoTelhado to neovim 8 points | 4 comments I am very new to nvim in general, and lately I have been trying to see if I can get configured to work better for rust programming (simple stuff, like proper language highlights, automatic formatting, if not too much work have rust-analyzer to sometimes check what is being done once in a while). I tried to check online what people post about this subject, and more often than not I am lead to guides and explanations that clearly do not work with the more recent versions of nvim. And in some cases, they shove so many plugins that I lose count (and many times tried to change stuff like init.lua just to end up with a broken install). So my questions are: * What options can be used by nvim itself that makes it more suitable for rust development (excluding plugins)? * If plugins must be used to have more advanced features, what are they and what are the best practices to add them to nvim?
