If a developer says "The blocker for me is IntelliJ supporting Java 21",
clearly there's an IDE dependency. Powerful enough for a developer
not to adopt a new framework.
- twic 3y agoIt's entirely possible to write Java without an IDE. I've done it, and one of my colleagues has been using VSCode quite happily (we've bullied him into stopping because it doesn't have a formatter and he keeps checking in wonky code - but that's another story). But writing any language is much more productive with a good IDE. For me, the added value in using Java 21 now rather than in a few months is not enough to outweigh giving up the use of an IDE.

- pjmlp 3y agoJava 21 is expected to be released in two months.... Being a bit entitled regarding support of preview features. If said developer is savy enough to use a preview SDK, they should be able to cope with the downsides of lacking all the nice support.
