They wanted to showcase again that if you contribute to an open source project under a CLA, ie. the previous Rust plugin for Intellij, they will take your contributions, make them close source and sell them back to you.
Is this IDE going to make it impossible to install the Rust plugin in their other IDEs? Like is there anything preventing a user from continuing to use the Rust plugin and CLion after this has been released?
Why is this necessary? I thought we’ve moved past language-specific IDEs.
We have? JetBrains never has stopped offering them.
Who wouldn’t want an experience tailored to their main language? I certainly favor PyCharm over Ultimate
Yea, I was thinking the same. I have the JetBrains toolbox, and already have these installed:
I don’t really get why they need to make 10 different IDEs for every language, instead of just consolidating everything into a single UI/IDE.
For pricing it doesn’t make that much sense, anyone that wants more than 2 JetBrains products is better off buying the entire toolbox.
I’m still waiting for Cobolilissimo and Fortransformer…
You know that you can use IntelliJ Idea Ultimate to get all of these in one package?
How does that work?
All of the languages from their other IDEs are available as plugins: https://www.jetbrains.com/products/compare/?product=idea&product=idea-ce
Totally agree but weren’t they working on an all-in-one IDE? I think it was Fleet

And there is already the Language Server Protocol, which basically everyone else uses.
This is likely just rebranded intellij with some rust specific plugins and some UI adjustments like pycharm, goland, etc.
All the JetBrains IDEs feel like basically the same platform with different plugins and tweaks.

They don’t require CLA, since it’s MIT license. So what they showcase is the benefit of copyleft.
