> debugger
I've only ever really used a debugger on embedded, we used gdb there. I know VS: Code has a debugger that works, I'm sure other IDEs do too.

Hard to do in a pre-compiled language with no runtime, if you're asking about what I think you're asking about.

Other folks gave you good links, but this stuff is pretty new, so I wouldn't claim that this is great and often good and such.

I'm not aware of Rust-specific IDEs, but many IDEs have good support for Rust. VS: Code is the most popular amongst users according to the annual survey. The Rust Project distributes an official LSP server, so you can use that with any editor that supports it.
So the answer is very clear "no" on all accounts, just like for other languages built by people who don't understand the value of good tooling.
I haven't used Rust much, but the tooling felt very solid. There's a default package manager that works well, unlike many other languages including C++ and somehow Python. Debugging is fine. Idk why you expected edit-and-continue, it's not like you get that in C++ either.
