Steering issue #3

[matklad]

This the steering issue -- it documents our roadmap for the next six weeks!

Steering meeting: link

The overall theme of the sprint is fixing broken windows. Specific subissues:

• change process to leave no broken windows behind. This is not specific issue, but rather a signal that we are changing our attitude to be more quality focused. It's time, to slow down to speed up. @matklad wants to triage existing issues though, to check if there are any obvious broken windows.
• unfreeze Tracking issue fo RFC2912, transition to rust-analyzer as our official LSP #4224. That was blocked on org changes/foundation formation. Now seems the appropriate time to re-visit org blockers here?
• add benchmarking for auto-completion and optimize performance so that completion feels fast.
• support for attribute proc-macros. This is the final big piece we need for rustc feature parity for IDE-relevant subset. The rest is just fixing bugs :-)
• correctly handle "duplicated" crates in the crate graph. I.e, when cfg(test) crate depends on itself without cfg(test).

Results:

• broken windows process seems to work OK-ish
• we emailed core-team on Tracking issue fo RFC2912, transition to rust-analyzer as our official LSP #4224, received a (preliminary) reply, so this slowly moves forward
• attribute proc macros support are in progress -- we don't support them yet, but sucesfully broke previously working code in a couple of interesting ways :-)
• no progress on duplicated crates in the crate graph :(
