VS Code uses LSPs which are mentioned.

TL;DR: Java’s multi-billion-dollar ecosystem is quietly dependent on a shrinking, fragile IDE infrastructure, and without deliberate investment beyond IntelliJ and Eclipse, its long-term developer productivity is at serious risk.

I think Library APIs are a good example. I've found myself in the situation where I do not care about the string representation (or can convert in a few places if necessary), but need to provide an interface for others that is as frictionless as possible. My instinct there was to be generic and use From/To traits, but it never felt quite right.

Please do Strings next. Effective Rust isn't useful at guiding to a good default.

The technical arguments for one or the other option are available in a bunch of places, but no good guidance on an idiomatic default.
