I was just looking at their products. Looks like IDEA is aimed at Java developers, but I assume that doesn’t prevent it being used for other languages?

- noworriesnate 2y agoSpecifically you should look at the JetBrains All Products Pack. That's what I have and I've used Pycharm, CLion, Datagrip and Rider extensively. I love being able to switch languages without having to learn a new interface, keyboard shortcuts, etc. You get a nice JetBrains Toolbox app to manage all your IDEs.
- joshstrange 2y agoAgreed. The price between just IDEA and the all products pack is not terribly different and I enjoy using IDEA and Datagrip. I've also played with a few other of their IDEs and it's nice to not have to learn anything new. That said, I do 99% of my work in IDEA since it can do pretty much everything.
- dagw 2y agoMy only major complaint about JetBrains is that they make me switch programs when switching languages. I have a license for CLion and PyCharm Pro, and while they're both great, the fact that I cannot 'import' all the features from one into the other is quite infuriating.
- OccamsMirror 2y agoPretty sure you can do this in the Ultimate version? You just install the necessary plugins.
- AndroidKitKat 2y agoThat's what I do. I can program my Go, Python, Java, and JavaScript projects all within IDEA Ultimate by just installing the extension from the marketplace. The only exceptions are C/C++ and Rust that 'require' a different IDE or paid extension and don't work in IDEA Ultimate for whatever reason.
- dagw 2y agoThe Ultimate version has very primitive C++ support last time I checked. Nothing compared to what they offer with CLion.
