@matklad, would love to know your thoughts on this :)
Thanks for the ping, published my comment as https://matklad.github.io/2026/08/21/rust-glancer.html!
Ok, that's pretty exciting. rust-analyzer makes it hard to write Rust on my personal laptop, for example.
I also don't plan to work on things that are unnecessary at the current state of the project, such as migrating to the new trait solver.
If I recall correctly, rust-analyzer moving to the new trait solver gave us roughly a 2x speed increase and a memory decrease. Migrating to the new trait solver from chalk might actually be a good move for your project’s goals!
Thank you for creating this!
