wtf is rust-bbedit?

This is a plugin for BBEdit, a long-standing Mac text editor, that adds full support for the Rust programming language. If you write Rust code on a Mac and prefer using BBEdit over more mainstream code editors, this package brings the editor up to speed so it properly understands and displays Rust files. Once installed, it gives you the kinds of conveniences you'd expect from a modern code editor. It color-codes Rust syntax, including special elements unique to the language like lifetimes and attributes. Beyond just making the code look nice, it lets you jump quickly between functions, search for specific symbols, fold sections of code to hide them, and look up references. It also includes a few helpers: a preview mode for checking documentation formatting, code snippets for common patterns, and support for running Cargo build scripts and the rustfmt formatting tool. The people who would use this are Mac-using Rust developers who already know and like BBEdit. BBEdit has a loyal following among Mac power users, but it doesn't support newer languages like Rust out of the box. This package bridges that gap, making BBEdit a practical option for someone working on a Rust project who wants syntax highlighting and navigation without switching to a different editor. Installing it is straightforward if you're comfortable with the Mac terminal, you clone the repository into BBEdit's Packages folder, restart the editor, and it picks up the new language module automatically. The project is written in Objective-C++ and requires Apple's Xcode tools to compile from scratch, though pre-built helper tools are already included in the repository. Most users can just download and install without needing to build anything themselves.
