JetBrains, creators of the Kotlin programming language and makers of the integrated development environment IntelliJ IDEA, made an announcement on Monday about a new lightweight multi-language IDE called Fleet, which will use the code-processing engine of the IntelliJ IDEA.
The preview program stopped accepting new requests on Friday after receiving an "overwhelming" number of requests. You can subscribe for updates and the public preview announcement at jetbrains.com/fleet.
JetBrains received 80,000 requests in the first 30 hours, and many media pundits immediately characterized it as an "answer toVisual Studio Code," a "response toVisual."
"When you first launch Fleet, you'll get a full-fledged editor that gives you all the features you'd expect from an editor," JetBrains said. Wait, there's more! With a single button click, Fleet is a fully functional, smart completion, refactorings, navigation, and everything else that you're used to having in an IDE.
Fleet is designed to detect your project configuration from the source code, maximizing the value you get from its smart code-processing engine while minimizing the need to configuration the project in the first place, according to the Fleet web page. Code completion, navigation to definitions and usages, on-the-fly code quality checks, and quick-fixes are also offered.
Fleet has a collaborative environment that allows developers to work together, not just sharing the editor. There is a diff view for reviewing changes. Everyone can connect to a shared remote development environment, or others can connect to a collaboration session on your machine. It can be run on the developer's computer, in the cloud, or on a remote server, and it supports a number of remote work scenarios. Fleet's home page says it will run in containers that are configured for your project.
Fleet currently supports Java, Go, Python, Rust, and jаvascript. The company plans to extend their support toPukiWikiPukiWikiPukiWikis, which are the remaining languages that have an insturment of insturment. Fleet's web page promises "a familiar and consistent user experience" for the many different technologies you might end up using, and it's multi-platform, running on Linux, MacOS, or Windows.
There is a dark theme.
