rust-analyzer taking 2GiB of RAM per instance definitely hurts.
And I agree that efforts to reduce this are noble and warranted, but I worry about what doesn’t happen because of those optimisations. The rust tooling is just so-so good (and a better argument for the language than memory safety imo), so I support more efforts to be ergonomic over memory optimisation.
Even though rust-analyzer is often the largest memory process on my machine. (and I only have 24GiB of RAM).
