## What it is
rust.vim is the official Vim plugin for Rust development, providing file detection, syntax highlighting, formatting via rustfmt, and integrations with Syntastic, Tagbar, and the Rust Playpen. It requires Vim 8 or higher for full functionality.

## Use cases
- syntax highlighting for Rust files in Vim
- format Rust code with rustfmt on save
- run the test under the cursor in a Cargo project
- send code snippets to the Rust Playpen
- integrate cargo error checking with Syntastic
- browse Rust source structure with Tagbar

## When to choose
- you edit Rust code in Vim or Neovim and want official tooling support
- you want automatic rustfmt formatting on save
- you want quick single-test execution inside Cargo projects

## When to avoid
- you use an IDE like RustRover or VS Code with rust-analyzer instead of Vim
- you need LSP features like completion and go-to-definition, which this plugin does not provide

## Facets
- artifact type: plugin
- maturity: stable
- function: editor, formatter, testing, documentation
- domain: developer-tools, text-editors, programming-languages
- platform: editor-plugin, cli, cross-platform
- tags: vim, rust, syntax-highlighting, rustfmt, syntastic, tagbar, cargo
