I'm a hobbyist programmer, mostly in JavaScript, but I'd like to learn Rust. I'd like to use an open-source IDE that supports Language Server Protocol. I'm currently using WebStorm, which is not open-source, and doesn't support LSP. I've checked out VS Codium, which is open-source and does support LSP, but it seems like it's a hobbled version of VS Code that still phones home to Microsoft.

Are there and other IDEs that are FOSS and that support LSP?

Edit: Thanks everybody. I'm taking the path of least resistance and sticking with Webstorm and IntelliJ.

It's on the lighter side, but Kate supports LSP. I've used it with a different compiled language (I didn't do much, but did have different compilation commands). Also note that I don't actually use KDE so that has nothing to do with it.

Wow I had no idea Kate had support for LSP after using plasma distros for years. I always assumed it was a basic text editor and used vim instead.
