Rust support

[FranklinYu]

Any interest in Rust support? Should be easier than dynamic languages.

Thanks for the question! We aren’t currently focusing on it, but I’d be thrilled to review any work done to support it. If you’re interested in tackling it, #126 gives a brief outline of the process; note also that https://github.com/tree-sitter/tree-sitter-rust exists (tho I don’t know off the top of my head how complete it is).

Yeah, tree-sitter-rust is pretty complete. We've been using it in Atom for syntax highlighting, and it handles all the Rust code I've run it on. We recently got some community contributions that brought it up to speed with the newest language features.

I'd personally love it if semantic supported Rust, because Tree-sitter itself uses it quite a bit!

I did some work to solve the issue yet https://github.com/p-alik/semantic/blob/semantic-rust/semantic-rust/README.md

Now that the tree-sitter-rust Haskell package exists, next step is to create a semantic-rust package like the other ones we have in the semantic repo.

But tree-sitter-rust is still not available on hackage. Consequently cabal can't compile semantic-rust yet.

[patrickt]

@p-alik Use the cabal.project source-repository-package feature to pin to the git repo directly.

Is Rust supported now? I noticed that #551 was merged

Possible this note in #572 answers your question.
