Rust may hopefully get better autocompletions if they work on their Language Server implementation. C# compiler was explicitly rewritten so that it is IDE friendly and I fully agree with this decision. That said even good, old Java has excellent tooling support that I do miss from all these hip languages (such as Rust).

The compiler team is planning on following in C#’s footsteps with the rust-analyzer project.
I can only recommend trying it out. It works comparatively well. The problem with RLS is that it always needs working code to compile in between and it always loses state. I think it's a design issue at the core of RLS. rust-analyzer does this a lot better and faster, but is still in an early stage.
That would be great! One thing that makes working with a language pleasant is good tooling.
