The Drive to Develop

With the holiday season coming, the R plugin introduces more code assistance and runtime capabilities, UX features, and stability improvements. Try them with the brand new 2020.3 releases of JetBrains IDEs. Use run/debug configurations to manage the way the IDE executes your R code. You can define the command-line arguments of the R script to be executed, the options of the R interpreter, or environmental variables. Configure once and run your script with the same predefined parameters. With the modified R interpreter selector, you can switch between various interpreters and quickly create

Today is a great day because GoLand 2020.3 is polished and ready to be delivered to you! It is the third and the last release of this year.

Also, we’ve packed this release with the expanded support for the Testify test framework and a bunch of new code editing features, including support for the time package, smarter ways to handle packages, UI improvements as well as a v

After working on content for JetBrains Academy throughout October and November, we’re finally ready to share new projects and educational topics with you! We hope you’ll enjoy the updates as much as we enjoyed creating them. Keep in mind that the beta projects are in the early stages of testing. They might still contain bugs and errors, as they have not yet been fully tested by contributors outside JetBrains. We appreciate your feedback, because it helps us improve and release these projects publicly sooner. But don’t worry, 110+ fully-tested projects have already been publicly released and a

JavaScript was first introduced to the public 25 years ago, on December 4, 1995. Initially developed in just 10 days, JavaScript quickly became one the most popular programming languages, with millions of developers across the globe now using it every day. (more…)

In the previous blog post on IntelliJ Rust, we described the plugin’s major update of the 2020.3 release cycle – more support and a new UI for Cargo features. In brief, you can now toggle workspace features right in the Cargo.toml file, and code insight across the whole of your project will be adjusted accordingly. Now let’s take a look at the improvements that have been made to this functionality already, along with other updates the plugin has received over the last few months: More code insight for Cargo features Rustfmt as default formatter Improvements in refactorings New experimental e

This version is focused on the debugging experience and on the flexibility of the unit testing integration. Embedded developers will find support for the first collection of MISRA checks. CLion 2020.3 also introduces a variety of IDE functions tuned specifically for working with Qt code.

Just one month ago, we released Jetpack Compose for Desktop Milestone 1, the first public iteration of our modern declarative UI framework. We were delighted about how the Kotlin community has embraced Compose for Desktop. It was awe-inspiring to see people bring their Android apps to the desktop, re-implement the user interfaces of famous applications, and bring entirely new experiences to life with Compose for Desktop. Visit the Compose for Desktop landing page Since then, we have been hard at work to bring you the next version. Today we’re publishing Compose for Desktop Milestone 2, dedica

PyCharm 2020.3 is officially out! In this final major release of 2020, we’ve concentrated on making the general user experience and onboarding process better. Try it now and let us know what you think! (more…)

December is here, and if you celebrate the mid-winter holidays (or midsummer if you're on that side of the equator) you're probably thinking ahead to that. 2020 has not been... optimal... for many. Christmas (or equivalent) will likely not look the way we expected, or are used to. We have an "opportunity" (haven't you always hated boss-speak, it's not an "opportunity", it actually is a "problem") to try new things, create new traditions, or to simply take the chance to put less pressure on ourselves this year. Let's face it, we deserve a break. (more…)

Most releases are focused on editor features, but the stars of this show are parallel compilation and compilation charts. We also have a handful of editor goodies in store. Let's take a closer look. 1. Parallel Compilation 2. Compilation Charts 3. Enhanced Package Prefixes 4. MUnit Support 5. Scala 3 Improvements 6. And more! Parallel Compilation According to the official Scala Developer Survey, long compilation times is the main pain point in Scala programmers' daily workflows by a large margin. Although speeding up the Scala compiler is a worthy goal

Today is the day! It is time to announce the release of our final major release of this year – IntelliJ IDEA 2020.3. Download it from our website, install it using the Toolbox App, upgrade from inside the IDE, or, if you are an Ubuntu user, upgrade using snaps.
