    We’ll also consider the cases when IntelliJ IDEA licenses were primarily bought for Rust development with the IntelliJ Rust plugin and which options we can suggest to our users in these cases. Please stay tuned!

    Last time I tried this, the plugin was incapable of actually showing compile errors in the project view and they said their false positive error rate was too high to enable it (https://github.com/intellij-rust/intellij-rust/pull/8373). That was a dealbreaker for me compared to VSCode.

    Agreed. Specifically, I've found the intellij rust plugin on top of Clion to be great.

    figure out testing, you probably want to structure your app in a way that allows you to run it in testing (Zero to Production has a great approach to that). There are helpers for testing like sqlx::test but CLion Rust plugin doesn't support them yet, it breaks code analysis (afaik the fix is not released yet).

    Any closer to getting error highlighting on files working properly (https://github.com/intellij-rust/intellij-rust/pull/8373)? That's a major benefit of rust-analyzer to me.
  • Debug on Windows?
    3 projects | /r/rust | 27 Dec 2022
    Could you please clarify whether the problem affects exactly local variables' values or function parameters' values? It is a known bug that the CLion's debugger cannot show function parameters' values on Windows: https://github.com/intellij-rust/intellij-rust/issues/6676. This is a major issue and we are working on it. But if you are facing such problems in any other scenarios, please let us know and share a problematic code snippet if possible

    Also, no BuSL stupidity, they're all Apache 2 AFAIK: https://github.com/JetBrains/intellij-community/blob/idea/23...

    And the "all you can eat" toolbox license is just a staggeringly good deal, IMHO, which also comes with a "you can keep your license forever, just no updates" which is way different from setting subscription-based licensing money on fire when your license expires. Whoever came up with that should be applauded because it really drives down my "what about" anxiety of paying subscription money for IDEs

    There is quite a bit going on in our view’s class, so we'll take it slow and go through its functions one by one, according to their importance. The first thing we need to do is to create the structure our items will fit into. com.intellij.ui.treeStructure.Tree seems to best match our needs, and that’s what we’ll use. In order to prepare it for what is coming, we need to configure it.

    I think it's time to wrap it up. We've made a pull request to the IDEA developers, and I've accomplished the tasks I set out to do. I'm really happy to help the developers of my favorite IDE.

    I offer, again, my JetBrains GrammarKit counterpoint from the last time that assertion came up <https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38192427>

    >>>

    I consider the JetBrains parsing system to be world class and they seem to hand-write very few (instead building on this system: https://github.com/JetBrains/Grammar-Kit#readme )

    - https://github.com/JetBrains/intellij-community/blob/idea/23... (the parser I'll concede, as they do seem to be hand-rolling that part)

    - https://github.com/JetBrains/intellij-community/blob/idea/23... (same for its parser)

  • Just paying Figma $15/month because nothing else fucking works
    5 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 19 Oct 2023
    I had the same experience with OmniGraffle, https://www.omnigroup.com/omnigraffle

    It just worked. There was support. I wouldn't dig a hole in the ground with my bare hands, why wouldn't I use good tools. Of course I would like to use F/OSS for various reasons.

    The model I absolutely love is Jetbrains, their core product is OSS, Apache licensed. The whole thing, totally usable. https://github.com/JetBrains/intellij-community

    The money I send their way does both, it pays for developers and it puts an amazing artifact in the world that others can use and learn from. If they weren't open source, I wouldnt pay for it. I don't know how many others are the same as me, but Jetbrains really deserves credit here.
