Any news about whether this will apply to RustRover too soon?

#273Can I just say I absolutely hate how the grid layout is ever so gently not straight until you scroll passed it, and then when you scroll back up it's all like "no I was always straight, what are you talking about". Stop making me worry about whether I'm having a stroke.

Are you going to sell the thing you're using Rider to build? That's commercial use. If you're not going to sell it, it's probably not commercial use.
I think parent has an issue where at first he develops something he thinks he won't sell but later it turns out he has opportunity to make money on it. My take would be, when decision to earn money one should buy the license for sure. I don't think you can somehow pay for previous use and I expect no one will hold it against you. But at the same time if you "develop non commercially" and you know you will be trying t…
I think an unsuccessful commercial venture is still a commercial venture.

#275Genuine question with an open mind: why would I use this and not vscode? I know people complain about lag in vscode but I have personally never experienced/noticed any. So with that in mind what does rider give that vscode cannot?
Honestly ? It’s hard to describe. It just works. C# solutions ? You have them. Git ? You have it. Jira ? Integrated. Want your branch to be named after your jira ticket ? It’s built in. A missing .NET framework ? You can install it in one click.
You don’t have to install any plugin to be productive. Though there is a rich ecosystem of plugins but it’s more to allow you to install "bonus" integrations and features where in VSCode it’s necessary because you basically have to build your own IDE. If you don’t install anything, it’s like VS : open your project, click on build, it’s built.
Just try it, in the first start you’ll be asked which keyboard bindings you want to use, just choose VSCode and you’ll feel at home.

I started a Godot project with C# support since I'm coming from Unity. I now have at least 50 GDScript files and not a single C# file, the language is good (with types). My only issue is that I can't get Copilot in their integrated IDE and that Rider's GDScript plugin doesn't support anonymous functions right now
GDScript is not good and never will be.
If it wasn't good then first, it wouldn't be shipped with the engine, second, people wouldn't use it to make games.

That's what I've opted for as well, and I have to say I prefer it. gdscript is a nice language for high level game scripting, and on the couple occasions I needed to bring in some high-performance code I found it super easy to build a gdextension in Rust.
Forget gdextension imo Compile the engine from source and add your classes as a module. Cuts out all the gdextension glue code and then you don't need to ship a shared library.
How do you write Rust code in that case?

Correct, though they also lost some who were not willing to relocate.
That's really too bad, and not fair to the Russian developers. More 'collateral damage' from the NATO-Russia conflict.
Ukraine is not part of Nato, but that would have been a good way to avoid 'conflict'.

#279Have been using VS Studio for 10+ years and never used Rider.
What are the most compelling reasons to switch? I have heard lots of praise but little substance so far.
For .NET dev it seems hard for any IDE to rival VS Studio's tight integration with the whole MS + .NET ecosystem.

Rider is an excellent IDE for .NET development. A lot less bloat than Visual Studio 2022. I’ve had a lot of my dev teams switch to it. We offer them both options. If you’re not working in legacy .NET Framework apps then I’d heavily suggest giving Rider a try.
