Can Netbeans do Rust?

Hello.

I use Ubuntu, and have, for 17 years, I developed Java programs in
Netbeans. Being that my programs should be running on embedded devices, I
am canvassing for a language type that would work well for me to port my
code to. Rust seems to be a good candidate for this, and it seems divergent
from Java to the extent that porting my code will be more involved than
simply using a translator - so the exercise should be quite the journey
that will put my concepts to the test.

What are my options for editing and running Rust code in Netbeans?

Thanks,

  Owen.

there is no rust support in the NetBeans release but if you build NB with the "full"
cluster config you could play around with the experimental rust modules.

ant -Dcluster.config=full build

Hi there.

I too am looking into Rust. But for me it's a hobby.

However, I am successfully using Visual Studio Code (on Fedora Linux!), 
and it is very useful.
I am a long... time user of Java and Netbeans. Rust is an interesting 
alternative. Another language to add
to my list.🙂

Have a great day, and have fun with Rust. 🙂

Brad.

Hello once more.

Eclipse does appear to do Rust - at no cost even - better than some other
IDE's. Although I'd love it to be so for NB, I'm sending this wish to the
gods in order that it might one day come true.

Still doing Java in NB. Have a good day. :)

  Owen.
