Long Bet #5: "By 2012, the Wall Street Journal and the New York Times will have referred to Russia as "the world leader in software development" or words to that effect.”
Predictor (who lost) was Esther Dyson, an investor in several Ruassian start-ups. Challenger was Bill Campbell, chair of Intuit.

- Egregore 13y agoActually the IDE I'm using - JetBrains's Intellij IDEA is made in Russia and I think it's the world leader in IDEs.
- GFischer 13y agoIt's definitely among the best, but I believe Visual Studio is better. Still, not enough to say Russia is the world leader in software development. That title still belongs to the US of A for now.
- V-2 13y agoBut Visual Studio wouldn't be the same without the great ReSharper :) By the way, Google's recent Android Studio - the best Android IDE, which pushed Eclipse aside - is a customized IntelliJ Idea as well (they made a deal).
- vetinari 13y agoJetBrains is actually from Czech Republic, not Russia. Yes, they have offices in Moscow and SPB, but also in Munich and Boston - that does not make them German or US company either.
- Egregore 13y agoI think the owner decided to register the firm in Czech Republic because it is more western and also a country with Slavic language. As far as I know both the owner and majority of developers are from Russia.
- vetinari 13y agoYou are right, I had a look into business register and names of owners like Sergey and Valentin are not exactly Czech names.
