rust-mode: A major emacs mode for editing Rust source code

rust-mode makes editing Rust code with emacs enjoyable.

To install, check out this repository and add this to your .emacs file:

(add-to-list 'load-path "/path/to/rust-mode/")
(require 'rust-mode)

Make sure you byte-compile the .el files first, or the mode will be painfully slow. There is an included Makefile which will do it for you, so in the simplest case you can just run make and everything should Just Work.

If for some reason that doesn't work, you can byte compile manually, by pasting this in your *scratch* buffer, moving the cursor below it, and pressing C-j:

(progn
  (byte-compile-file "/path/to/rust-mode/cm-mode.el" t)
  (byte-compile-file "/path/to/rust-mode/rust-mode.el" t))

Rust mode will automatically be associated with .rs and .rc files. To enable it explicitly, do M-x rust-mode.
