I actually have a use case for this. I work on a big JVM app that needs some serious hardware to run locally. If I want to develop remotely I have to use a Remote Desktop to access a workstation, which is hell. You can remote debug, but you can’t really remote develop. Intellij is index heavy so you need Intellij and the code to be collocated on a machine, otherwise IntelliJ will overload the network. You can get around this by having two copies of the code and manually transfer any differences to machine running the JVM, but it’s really brittle. Separating the front and back ends will allow me to have JVM, code, and compiler all on one machine, but the editor on another.
