rustup is a bit more than "better maintained", it is an official project of Rust.

And rsvm? Well, never heard of it up to this moment...

Another thing, I would really recommend you to try rust-analyzer out. The Rust extension is very slow and laggy, while rust-analyzer is excellent. It is also semi-official and supposed to replace the Rust extension at some point in the future.

The official extension just compiles your whole project on every keystroke and decrypts a big ol' chunk of json the compiler gives back; rust-analyzer, on the other hand, incrementally parses & analyzes your code, and it is going rapidly better.

Thank you for the rust-analyzer recommendation! If you've never heard of rsvm then I'm glad I chose rustup, but rsvm is just the first result on google when you look it up, so I figured either was okay. I didn't notice the "official rust project" part of rustup until day 2, but I figured it wasn't super important to bring up again.
