JetBrains, a leader in developer tools, has officially launched RustRover, the first full-featured Integrated Development Environment (IDE) specifically designed for the Rust programming language. RustRover aims to bring JetBrains' signature intelligent tooling to the fast-growing Rust ecosystem, which has long been underserved in the IDE space.
The release comes in response to rising demand for Rust development tools as the language grows in popularity due to its memory safety, performance, and zero-cost abstractions. Rust has topped developer satisfaction rankings for multiple years and is gaining traction in systems programming, game development, and web backends.
What is RustRover?
RustRover is a purpose-built IDE that brings together the best of JetBrains' tooling, including:
Smart code completion and suggestions
Inline type inference
Advanced refactoring tools
Integrated Cargo support
Built-in debugging and testing
Full integration with Rust Analyzer
Clippy and rustfmt integrations
Project templates and wizard for new projects
Unlike using plugins in IntelliJ IDEA, RustRover is a standalone product dedicated to Rust development, offering a streamlined experience out of the box.
