3389: Note vscode remote limitation when client install fails r=matklad a=not-much-io Just adding a note about the limitation referenced in https://github.com/rust-analyzer/rust-analyzer/issues/2522/ Considered checking if this message is relevant in the context (is this remote?) but decided against it because of return on investment - seeing how fast vscode iterates this limitation might just disappear in the near future. Also checked if there is a way to already do this which lead me to leaving a specifing question at https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-remote-release/issues/385 Co-authored-by: nmio <kristo.koert@gmail.com>
rust-analyzer is an experimental modular compiler frontend for the Rust language. It is a part of a larger rls-2.0 effort to create excellent IDE support for Rust. If you want to get involved, check the rls-2.0 working group:

Language Server Quick Start
rust-analyzer is a work-in-progress, so you might encounter critical bugs. That said, it is complete enough to provide a useful IDE experience and some people use it as a daily driver.
To build rust-analyzer, you need:
- latest stable Rust for the language server itself
- latest stable npm and VS Code for VS Code extension
To quickly install the rust-analyzer language server and VS Code extension with
standard setup (code and cargo in $PATH, etc), use this:
# clone the repo
$ git clone https://github.com/rust-analyzer/rust-analyzer && cd rust-analyzer
# install both the language server and VS Code extension
$ cargo xtask install
# alternatively, install only the server. Binary name is `rust-analyzer`.
$ cargo xtask install --server
For non-standard setup of VS Code and other editors, or if the language server cannot start, see ./docs/user.
Documentation
If you want to contribute to rust-analyzer or are just curious about how things work under the hood, check the ./docs/dev folder.
If you want to use rust-analyzer's language server with your editor of choice, check ./docs/user folder. It also contains some tips & tricks to help you be more productive when using rust-analyzer.
