The JetBrains Blog

Some of us might remember this 15-year-old Abstruse Goose comic about our choices in life. Learning the theory of computations might not be the most direct path to video game development. However, you still need to learn programming, some math (at least geometry), and mechanics – or as it’s often so…

Large Bazel projects are becoming increasingly common in modern software development. Unfortunately, the IDE experience for these projects often leaves much to be desired. In this blog post, we’ll explore the new JetBrains Bazel plugin and how it can enhance your daily work with Bazel projects. We’l…

I’m not a competitive programmer – far from it. I never received formal education in advanced algorithms and data structures. In fact, I can’t even implement Dijkstra’s algorithm without referring to Wikipedia. Yet, I still participate in Advent of Code competitions. I’ve never made it onto an offic…

So, you're thinking about choosing Rust as your next programming language to learn. You already know what it means to write code and have some experience with at least one programming language, probably Python or JavaScript. You’ve heard about Rust here and there. People say it’s a modern systems pr…

About a month ago, we launched a mechanism for publishing your color theme as a plugin. With the recent updates, we are extending Fleet plugin applicability even further by allowing you to publish your custom keymaps. You can now map Fleet actions to specific key combinations to streamline your deve…

Fleet is engineered for ultimate extensibility, offering a dynamic and customizable experience. Virtually every feature of Fleet is already powered by plugins pre-packaged with the Fleet distribution. Now, we are happy to announce the rollout of the Fleet Plugins SDK to the broader developer communi…

Fleet is a code editor designed from scratch to be an extendable platform. Many pieces of Fleet’s functionality are implemented as plugins. While the Fleet team is working toward the Fleet Plugins Public Preview, we decided to share some ideas, details, and examples of why and how external developer…

If you missed our Boosting the Developer Experience With Serverless Rust Applications in RustRover livestream facilitated by James Eastham and Vitaly Bragilevsky, here's a summary and recording of the session.

There are millions of professional software developers and even more learners and hobbyists who enjoy coding. Dozens of programming languages are in widespread use, many of which come with their own build systems and dependency management tools. Developers have a whole spectrum of tools to choose fr…

In this third and final part of the Rust Iterators series, we’ll learn by example. We'll explore some useful yet lesser-known iterator features, along with their applications in various popular open-source projects developed in Rust. This multipart series focuses on Rust iterators, covering both …

Developers transitioning to Rust from other programming languages, such as Python, JavaScript, or even C++ or Java, often face challenges with iterators. Rust’s ownership rules, the intricacies of its type system, and its commitment to generating efficient code give Rust iterators a distinctive char…

Iterators are heavily used across codebases in Rust, making it worthwhile to understand them in detail, beyond just the basics. In this blog post series, we will discuss topics that every beginner-to-intermediate-level Rust developer must keep in mind. For those with a limited understanding of Rust …
