Is it possible that Google views JetBrains as an acquisition target?
- jayd16 9y agoAnything is possible but I believe both parties have stated they're happy with their current relationship and no one is looking for acquisition.
- matwood 9y agoI have been hoping for this move, and then Google using Kotlin for Android. They made the smaller step of officially endorsing Kotlin which I think helps, but acquiring Jetbrains and opening the entire Intellij would be huge for the developer community, Android, Kotlin, etc... Of course that assumes Google doesn't drop support a year later.
- m_fayer 9y agoYeah, please, no. Jetbrains have been a consistent, effective, and mature presence in this world for a long time. The last thing I would want would be to inflict Google's capricious approach to acquisitions on such a valuable player.
