It's a project by a Googler (me), but it's a personal (20%) project, not an official Google one.

What's your thought of Rust? What dev env did you use?
Rust is working out very well so far. If you look at the rope implementation, you'll see that it's high level and mathematical almost like a functional language, but performance is first-class. I'm also very much looking forward to retrofitting parallelism using libraries such as Rayon and crossbeam. I'll probably write a retrospective when I'm farther into the project.
My current development environment is just Sublime Text for the Rust parts, and Xcode for the parts written in Swift.
If you are using the recently-added default Rust syntax for Sublime Text and run into any issues, please let me know by filing an issue at https://github.com/sublimehq/Packages/issues.
What made you decide to not write everything in Swift? Is it the lack of Windows support?
