Ask HN: If building an IDE from scratch, what features would you add?
Many IDEs feel bloated or outdated. If you could design one from scratch,
what would you keep, drop, or reinvent?
- T0V1 2y agoI'd keep all the features from neovim, remove all the features from every other IDE.
- joegibbs 2y agoNative vector search would be great. I was just thinking today how irritating it is to try to find some specific component in a very large codebase without knowing exactly what it’s called already.
- SvenL 2y agoGreat debugging capabilities, time travel debugging, data break points, attach to running processes, remote debugging etc. I think the most important feature for an IDE is debugging - at least this is the feature which separates an ide from just a Text Editor
