## What it is
A Neovim plugin that enhances Rust development by integrating rust-analyzer via Neovim's built-in LSP, adding features like inlay hints, debugging, runnables, and macro expansion. It is now archived and its README recommends switching to mrcjkb/rustaceanvim.

## Use cases
- set up rust-analyzer in neovim with better defaults
- show inlay hints for rust code in neovim
- run and debug rust code from neovim
- expand rust macros recursively in the editor
- view crate dependency graph in neovim

## When to choose
- you are stuck on an older Neovim setup and need rust-analyzer extras
- you want a reference implementation before migrating to rustaceanvim

## When to avoid
- you are starting a new Neovim Rust setup - use rustaceanvim instead
- you need maintained tooling or bug fixes

## Facets
- artifact type: plugin
- maturity: abandoned
- function: developer-tools, editor
- domain: developer-tools, programming-languages
- platform: editor-plugin, windows
- tags: neovim, rust, lsp, rust-analyzer, archived, linux, macos
