    That’s a JetBrains plugin. It is just for JetBrains applications, and it closed source, right? Language servers are basically the metric system of IDEs. I can go from Emacs to Vim to VSCode and just use rust-analyzer for my IDE backend.

    I don’t understand the benefit of using JetBrains specific plugins that only work with JetBrains.
