Could you mind to tell me what is your plan on proc-macros ? You said you have an idea to “will not require actual code execution”. On the other hand, RA current method of handling in Proc-Macros are very fragile.

Could you elaborate a bit on why RA's incremental approach takes more memory? Intuitively it feels that it should take less, because you're only processing what you need? Whereas you seem to indicate that you save a full analysis snapshot to disk and load it all up when needed? Shouldn't that consume the max memory for a workspace?

Fantastic project btw, and it couldn't come at a better time. With the way prices are going I really hope people start paying attention to memory again.

Pretty cool! rust-analyzer takes such a huge amount of memory. Usually it’s not a problem but occasionally I’ve run into issues. Having an alternative, even with tradeoffs, is great.

Super cool!

In the comparison table, you indicate indexing times. Could you also measure memory usage, since that's the stated goal of the project?

Rust does not have a specification. How do you know your LSP is providing right information?
