Rust analyzer and compilation are very slow. My system is heating up, running out of ram and disk space. I have 8 GB ram.

I use helix editor.

This will work if you use emacs or vim. The problem is helix.

Are you sure? I have tried using vim and it was pretty much the same.

I have also confirmed the cause using task manager to be rust analyzer.

The only thing “heavy” about helix is it will download all the tree sitter grammars by default you can limit this, but it’s a disk usage thing.

do you use zellij or something like that?

[-] silly_goose@lemmy.today 2 points 12 hours ago

I don't use zellij. Just normal tabs inside kitty terminal.
