Since its first days as a company, JetBrains has relentlessly worked to make professional software development a more productive and enjoyable experience. This mission started 20 years ago with a single tool that helped refactor Java code and which later became a full-fledged IDE. Today JetBrains offers a dozen IDEs that replicate the enjoyable experience of developing with IntelliJ across multiple programming languages. In this post, we’d like to give you an update on one of those languages: the R language. Support for the R language has been available for IntelliJ IDEA for quite a while. It

A year ago, we set a very ambitious goal – create a font to make working with code more comfortable for everyone. And we did it! What’s the problem with other monospaced fonts, you might ask? For the most part of our day we, as developers, look at the code. And it is no wonder that we are always on the lookout for the best font to make looking at the text on the screen easier on our eyes. However, the logic in many popular fonts does not always take into account the difference between reading through code and reading a book. Our eyes move along code in a very different way, often having to

Today at KotlinConf, we announced our brand new product Space, and we have already opened the Early Access Program. (more…)

With more than 4,000 available plugins, the Plugins Repository is able to deliver a variety of third-party plugins that can extend your JetBrains product on demand. There are plugins to bring you everything from additional languages and new technology support to cloud integrations, to themes, learning shortcuts, and even a Nyan Cat progress bar. Plugins for pretty much all the JetBrains tools including, but not limited to, all the IntelliJ–based IDEs, TeamCity, and .NET tools. Today we want to introduce to you the brand-new JetBrains Marketplace platform, a new evolutionary step for the Plugi

We’re thrilled to introduce you to Datalore, an intelligent web application for data analysis and visualization in Python, as it officially reaches version 1.0! Ever since the public beta release last February, we’ve been working hard to implement a lot of new ideas based on your suggestions. The beta version provided core application features: a smart code editor with context-dependent suggestions, incremental recalculations, and built-in tools and libraries for machine learning. Here’s what Datalore offers for data scientists: (more…)

Last Monday, February 12, we launched a public beta of Datalore – an intelligent web application for data analysis and visualization in Python. Today, machine learning is at the heart of many commercial applications and research projects. By introducing Datalore, we’re extending the JetBrains product family to the machine learning-specific environment in Python. We’re launching this tool inspired by the JetBrains vision – to make development as enjoyable and productive as possible for everyone. Datalore aims to turn working with data into a delightful experience with helpers such as smar

Before the end of 2017, the JetBrains Toolbox family of products have been updated for the third time to 2017.3! Every tool has been expanded, polished, and refined in multiple areas, to give you a superior user experience and the biggest productivity gains yet. And it got another addition to the family — JetBrains GoLand, a new cross-platform GO IDE. The new IDE extends the IntelliJ platform with coding assistance and tool integrations specific to the Go language. Read more about GoLand and try it! Note: If you use IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate, you can take advantage of GoLand’s function

The summer (we're mostly in the northern hemisphere) is the time for relaxing and having a break, but we at JetBrains have prepared the next big update of your toolset to give you a better user experience and more productivity gains yet. Read on for an overview of what's new and improved in the 2017.2 update of each JetBrains Toolbox product. In particular, don't miss the latest addition to the family – JetBrains Rider, a new cross-platform .NET IDE based on both ReSharper and IntelliJ platforms. WebStorm adds the powerful Move symbol refactoring and code coverage reports for Mocha,

For those of you who follow the news in the Rust community, you may have noticed a teasing announce saying that the Rust plugin for the IntelliJ Platform is becoming officially supported by JetBrains. The announcement was followed by many questions about the plugin. With this post, we’d like to answer some of them and shed some light on what’s going on with the plugin and JetBrains plans. It’s probably worth saying a few words on how the plugin started. On the first of September, 2015 two small groups of people at JetBrains simultaneously started working independently on the Rust support fo

Last summer we held our third annual two-day hackathon, an event where anyone and everyone from JetBrains (as well as a few external contributors) gathered to work on a novel, high-impact idea. The JetBrains App Launcher was one of these Hackathon projects. The idea behind the project was to simplify the process of installing, updating and uninstalling different JetBrains desktop tools. After the Hackathon was over, the team continued to improve and enhance the application as part of the 20% project we have at JetBrains. Close to the end of 2015 it was released internally and was given t

We usually say a release is ‘available’ but ‘complete’ seems more appropriate for 2016.1. It took a whole month and many teams working together to publish all of the 2016.1 updates inside of JetBrains Toolbox. Here’s a short recap of the major changes and our plans for the future. As you know, JetBrains Toolbox consists of two main groups of products: Tools for .NET developers and those using MS Visual Studio IDEs based on IntelliJ Platform IDEs 2016.1 In addition to unique new features for the main technology of each IDE, all eight products include many new features based on the im
