Yes we use a headless process that the editor plugins talk to. Our heads-up-display app also talks to this headless process. We put as much functionality there as possible and try to keep the plugins/HUD as small as possible. It’s stil

We test Kite on Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, Arch Linux, Linux Mint, and openSUSE. It also works across a variety of desktops, including KDE, XFCE, Gnome 2, and Gnome 3. We want Kite for Linux to support essentially every distribution and would

After years of development and a whole lot of anticipation, Kite is now available on Linux! You can download it for free at kite.com/linux. Kite helps Python developers be more productive with its Line-of-Code Completions, and integrat

Hi there! We've gotten a handful of people reporting trouble getting our website to load. We're trying to figure this out. Are you using any adblock plugin or is there anything else about your setup which may be unique? Do you get

Interesting question. I’m not a lawyer, but I presume it’s derivative enough not to be copyrighted. For example, one could argue Google’s giant n-gram corpus is derived from many copyrighted webpages.

Kite aside, I think both of these things will happen as developers adopt these technologies. We're seeing similar effects with autocorrect on your phone and self driving cars (i.e. there will still be accidents, and they tend to drive

On an intuitive level, I would guess there are many, many developers debugging a "you forgot to cast your int to a string" error message as I'm writing this. More concretely, the StackOverflow thread for "Parsing values

We'll monetize through the enterprises. We've had lots of conversations with larger companies and it's clear that engineering time is really precious to them, as is shipping faster. We're not really sure how to mechani

Jetbrains has put a lot of engineering effort into building really great tools. They're really wonderful! They took more of the Atlassian path of no/low-VC and slower organic growth starting in the early 2000's, so they&#x27

Yes, because we use deeply semantic information about code there is some engineering work to build support for other languages. So we took the approach of focusing on one demographic (Python developers) and making them really happy. We thi

N-grams is the first thing you try when you want to statistically model code. We tried it in 2014 and the results are disappointing, if you want to do anything beyond identifying low level syntactic patterns. The intuition here is that in

Great question! TabNine is a different approach that uses far less semantic information than Kite. It really shines when you're talking about syntactic repetition, e.g. if you check out the screenshots on their homepage. They have a

Adam for Kite here. We learned a lot over the past year and have worked hard to build several new features to Kite based on detailed user feedback (much of which came from the HN community). We're excited to release two new features of

This is great! I try to keep track of such lists, and this is the best I've seen so far. I put up a Mediawiki instance five years ago (wikilogic.org) to publish my own list, but didn't follow through. Interestingly I put a FS li
