This is only for most surface level features. The Idea PyCharm plugins lack scientific mode for example.

What do you mean by "scientific modes"? Jupyter notebooks? I've never used that, so I don't know what it is exactly nor how to compare. But, although the product comparison page [0] says idea lacks it, there's a doc page that says it has it [1]. It also shows up in the settings window of my IdeaU with Python plugin. According to this other comparison page [2], it would actually seem that the Idea plugin does more tha…

No, scientific mode means you can have PyCharm show dataframes like tables or all available plots even without working in a JPN

TL;DR (meta phrased) Microsoft is forking VSCode open source community by split licensing for source code and and official build of VSCode. If you build by yourself you can’t connect to VSCode is marketplace. This allows them to fully control VSCode telemetry and reporting along with use on platforms such as Gitpod. It’s similar to how Apple controls apps on iPhone and in turn control how much you need to pay them if…

It's always the same: Microsoft seems to have turned and got away from its evil image, then they turn their all they have done good into more evil.

Some of us were suspicious of the “new Microsoft”, mostly because with the exception of a few projects (VSCode among them, and not anymore), nothing really changed. Turns out, we weren’t wrong.

GitLab team member here. Thanks for the feedback. I created a merge request to update our documentation based on your comment and linked to the comment in the MR description: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/107599

That's great to hear. Thanks for the quick turn around. I appreciate that it's a single word change, less than a whole word even; given the PR/MR but it's important, in my opinion (as a Gitlab fan) to not appear to be trying to hide the foundation this updated feature is (now) built on.

FYI, MR has been reviewed and merged. Thanks again for your feedback, much appreciated. (GitLab team member here)

Can confirm... IDEA Ultimate (and Community to a lesser extent) lets me write code in Java, Groovy, Kotlin (and with slightly fewer features, but still really good support), Go, Rust, JavaScript, TypeScript, and of course, HTML/CSS... probably more but those are what I normally use. VS Code is getting support for all the newer languages though... similar to how it used to be before with Eclipse (for those who remembe…

I wonder how do you manage so my languages without getting confused?

I don't use them all at the same time :D sometimes I might go for months without touching some of them but I always find an excuse to go back so I don't lose the knowledge. No particular reason to try to keep up with many languages, I just enjoy it.

Rust is pretty much the most important programming language in the world right now. Using it to eliminate entire classes of bugs is a huge win for developers everywhere.

It was rather my impression that the classes of bugs that rust fixes are entirely in memory management, which is to say that they never existed in managed languages in the first place. That makes it a big step forward for bare metal and performance critical code, but kind of unimportant anywhere where ex. Java, Python, or JavaScript are used.

The fact that Rust lets you use managed programming patterns completely safely, with zero runtime overhead compared to C or C++, makes managed languages less compelling.

The title says powered by

There is no such title on the actual Gitlab docs page it links to, and from where I retrieved the quoted text.

Fair enough. The HN title said “powered by VSCode” when I responded. This is why we have rules about exact titles I suppose!
