IntelliJ IDEA 2018.3 Beta 2 is available!

Posted on November 1, 2018 by Zlata Kalyuzhnaya

We are getting closer to the big date and today we are ready to publish IntelliJ IDEA 2018.3 Beta 2. We’ve been polishing the forthcoming release, so this week it’s more about stability improvements. Download the latest build now and share your feedback with us!

Even though our brand-new JVM profiler has been received well, we’ve also collected some useful feedback that shows that there’s room for refining it and making it more user-friendly. That’s why in the upcoming v2018.3, the JVM Profiler is available as an experimental feature, which means that you can continue using the JVM Profiler in IntelliJ IDEA 2018.3 Ultimate edition as long as you enable it. Go to the Maintenance dialog (Ctrl-Alt-Shift-/ on Linux, Cmd-Alt-Shift-/ on macOS), select the Experimental features option, and then select the idea.profiler.enabled checkbox. Continue reading →

IntelliJ IDEA and Kotlin top choices for JVM developers

Posted on October 18, 2018 by Trisha Gee

Snyk and Java Magazine have just announced their results of surveying more than 10,200 JVM developers. The report shows good news for JetBrains and for our users.

Kotlin is more popular than ever! It’s overtaken Scala and Groovy to be the third most used JVM language (behind Java, of course, and Clojure).

JVM Language Use

According to this survey, IntelliJ IDEA is the most popular JVM IDE, still, but you already knew that since you’re reading this on the IntelliJ IDEA blog.

IDE Use

Results like these are because of you, our amazing users.  You drive us to create the best possible tools, and we love doing this for you.

For more detailed information about these results, and more insights into the JVM ecosystem, view the full report here.
