Rust:

• CodeLLDB: A native debugger powered by LLDB. Debug C++, Rust and other compiled languages.
• Rust-analyzer: rust-analyzer is an implementation of Language Server Protocol for the Rust programming language. It provides features like completion and goto definition for many code editors, including VS Code, Emacs and Vim. N.B. Seems better than the “official” Rust plugin.
• Crates: Helps Rust developers managing dependencies with Cargo.toml. Only works with dependencies from crates.io.

Other:

• PlantUML: Rich PlantUML support for Visual Studio Code.
• ASN.1: ASN.1 syntax, snippets, formatting, and more.
