Given this, I wonder what the future holds for JetBrains. They've made a good business out of providing standalone solutions for the more popular languages.

- stefan_ 7y agoThe same thing as always, making kick ass IDEs and actually working, robust productivity tools? A few rows down someone is praising "language servers" as some sort of Einstein discovery. I'd argue that was the easy part and they are rapidly learning about the difficulties involved, and the way is paved with auto-generated configuration pages wrapping json.

- cube2222 7y agoIndeed, and so far for the languages I’ve used, the level of support and refactorings surpassed anything presented by open source tools. Additionally, they provide a uniform editing experience for a load of languages, which is one of the things I love the most. Where you’re writing go, python, java m, cpp or rust, the refactorings work similarly. (I am kind of a fanboy)
