Neovim and Emacs don’t have it built in. Use open source tools.

They both support it via plugins. Xcode doesn’t enable it by default, you need to enable it and sign into an account. It’s not really all that different.

Wow they're finally getting it. The AI breakthrough will not come from procedural generation of memojis - but rather enabling developers to use your platform. But with the nearly hostile stance of your 30% take, we will see how far this goes.

Well seeing that the most popular apps aside from games don’t have in app purchases and another subset of that has means to do payments subscriptions outside of the App Store, the 30% (actually 15% for small developers) is a boogeymen

I couldn't get it to properly syntax highlight and autosuggest even after spending over an hour hunting through all sorts of terrible documentation for kate, clangd, etc. It also completely hides all project files that aren't in source control, and the only way to stop it is to disable the git plugin. What a nightmare. Maybe I'll try VSCodium next.

I thought vscodium was just vscode but open source. Won't any issues in vscode also be present in vscodium?

It can't access most Microsoft online services including Copilot, which happens to disable most of the features I don't want. (I understand this is both by design, as well as because Microsoft forbids unofficial forks from doing so.)

You have to enable it and install a language server, that's not the same as an LLM being baked in.

It’s not baked in, in that sense. You still have to enable it in XCode and link it to a Claude account. It’s basically the same.

At the level of "Having to configure something to use it", they're the same, but then that's the same as the hundreds of other config options then. I think we can be slightly more precise than that.

In Neovim the choice of language server and the choice of LLM is up to the user, (possibly even the choice of this API, I believe, having only skimmed the PR) while both of those choices are baked in to XCode, so they're not the same thing.

If you're worried about someone accessing your unlocked computer to install LLMs, you might need to rethink your security model.

Do you really think so? Have you ever explored the source of something like: https://github.com/JetBrains/intellij-community

Doesn't have to. The LLM will do it! We're done with code, aren't we?

Code is still there, but humans are done dealing with it. We're at a higher level of abstraction now. LLMs are like compilers, operating at a higher level. Nobody programs assembly language any more, much less machine language, even though the machine language is still down there in the end.

This is great. I've been using Xcode with a separate terminal to run Claude Code, which has been a painful setup.

Agreed. Claude Code is an amazing experience with Jetbrains IDEs, but for some reason Xcode just hates having claude directly edit the files.

How do you use it with Jetbrains? Junie? Or just as a separate CLI session?

“Boycott” is a pretty strong term. I’m sensing a strong dislike of ai from you which is fine but if you dislike a feature most people like it shouldn’t be surprising to you that you’ll find yourself mostly catered to by more niche editors.

I think it's a pretty good word, let's not forget how LLMs learned about code in the first place... by "stealing" all the snippets they can get their curl hands on.

And by reading the docs, and by autogenerating code samples and testing them against verifiers, and by paying a lot of people to write sample code for sample questions.

They could install anything. Including Claude Code and then run it in background as agent to exfiltrate data. I'm a security professional. This is unacceptable
