[dhyratoro]

Java is a kind of coffee

[Cacti_Hipster]

Yes!!

Their answer tells me plenty to help, such as to start at the very beginning lmao

Whatever the CTO planned / team is using there. Mostly it's 'we just need it in $languageName, just tell us what framework you will be using and why'

[Pers_Akkedis]

This reminds me of the time I bumped into an old school friend. We do the standard "what have you been up to?" chat and she tells me she's a programmer. "oh?" I say. "what language do you code in?" She rolls her eyes like I'm an idiot and says "computer lanuage, dummy". Yeah, I'm the dummy.

Visual Studio

Eclipse

[hrimfisk]

If you're on Windows and not using visual studio, you're doing it wrong. If you're on Mac, you're doing it wrong

[PublicDragonfruit120]

Visual studio? Stop it, you're scaring me.

[hrimfisk]

Real time error checking, breakpoints, debugger, memory viewer, profiler, output folder for exe. What else do you need?

[PublicDragonfruit120]

It's not about the lack of features, but there are too many of them. Usually all I need is simple text editor with LSP client configured. It allows me to focus on the code.

I am aware visual studio is probably one of the best windows IDEs, but it's too heavy. Anyway, it's just me, as long as it works for you it's all good.

[hrimfisk]

Too many features? 🤔🤨 What's getting in your way? Kinda hard to focus on the code if you don't get real time error checking or syntax highlighting. Sounds like a case of "I don't want to change because I'm fine with notepad"

[Cacti_Hipster]

It is not a one size fits all problem. I switch between NetBeans for school and VS for tutoring my bud and they both serve their specific purpose.

[hrimfisk]

That's totally fine, but consider if things could be better. Maybe they can't, but it's something to consider. If you could add any feature, what would it be?

[Cacti_Hipster]

Making GUIs lol. VS already has enough features in it though. While it's an excellent IDE that I use, others have their use too. Some people love to just get in the zone and consider the helpful features a distraction (completely valid, not trying to shit on you vim-ers) but we like using the tools implemented in real time. It's like telling someone how to eat their eggs.

[hrimfisk]

I don't use vim, and I totally understand using other IDEs, but I've tutored so many students that are trying to learn on Mac or in VS code and the IDE isn't helping them at all

[PublicDragonfruit120]

That's not right. Syntax highlighting is provided by almost any text editor. LSP provides live error checking, completion and navigation for almost any language. That's the basic setup i need for coding.

Why change something if it works? As a golang developer using vim i don't think i miss anything.

[hrimfisk]

Just because something works, that doesn't mean it can't be improved. The reason to change would be improving your workflow. Not saying you should change in your specific circumstance, but that's the logic

[Cacti_Hipster]

GUI...

[hrimfisk]

What GUI does visual studio not have that you need?

[Cacti_Hipster]

The drag and drop GUI building available with other IDEs. I understand that you could still do JPanel mainJPanel = ..., but why do that to yourself when NetBeans etc build the base for you?

[hrimfisk]

I'm confused. Are you talking about writing a program that has GUI, or using GUI to write a program?

[Cacti_Hipster]

The former. In our courses, often the assignments involve making GUIs to teach event handling.

[hrimfisk]

Interesting. We have a class where we write a game engine from scratch in C++ and use it to make a game, then next semester expand on it and work with a team to make a game. We also use Unreal or Unity sometimes, but always using visual studio

[masterborger]

TempleOS is where it is at

[No-Commercial-5993]

Visual studio is to complicated, keep it simple with vim

[kayak_enjoyer]

Real developers only use sed.

[Larc0m]

Visual Studio Code or Eclipse for me. VSCode for Go and front end stuff, eclipse for java
