Any thoughts on if we are seeing the beginnings of a JetBrains acquisition from Google? There seem to be significant overlap between the JetBrains investments (people capital, intellectual property: IDE, language) and Google significantly using all of these things.
edit: lol @ the down votes
- The_rationalist 6y agoJetbrains has a order of magnitude better internal culture that Google so I hope that never happen. JetBrains is one of the few NO bullshit company that continually refine it's products for improving the user experience.
- ta988 6y agoIt is highly unlikely (I hope I'm not wrong). The way Jetbrains is financed and managed, they don't need that and they don't have pressure from any venture capitalists to go anywhere near that. That would also really likely harm their reputation really badly (but I said that of github as well and it was not as bad as I feared, so don't believe everything/anything I say).
- meddlepal 6y agoI hope not. I will cry when Google inevitably fucks the product up then closes them down.
- preommr 6y agoDoes anyone at Google actually care that the company's reputation has become pretty bad? I know this comment is just a joke, but I think it's an indication of a bigger problem.
- pjmlp 6y agoIt would be interesting, which just makes using Eclipse and Netbeans to this day, an even better decision.
