IDEA isn’t Java-only. Most of the other languages are available as plugins. IDEA is typically the go-to IDE for multilanguage projects.
Or available in the paid version
Except .NET then you can use Rider which is pretty much IDEA but with added support for .NET, which makes it… better…? Not sure.
Most of their products are like that. There are a lot of specific language support features in each one that may become available as plugins later on but not at the same pace or “fullness” as the specific product itself.
For example, PHPStorm has good JavaScript support but if you want really good Typescript support you should probably go with Webstorm.
Alternatively, I can totally write Rust code in Webstorm through the Rust plugin but I’m better off using CLion that has better support (or now RustRover which will be where all the latest Rust support features are added, although it’s still a preview product afaik).
Also worth noting though that there are indeed some “tiers”. Like Webstorm won’t support PHP but PHPStorm will support JavaScript/Typescript (again, not fully but enough to maintain a front end operating off your PHP backend)
JetBrains IDE’s summarized:
as a python programmer…^yes
There’s a big difference between IntelliJ and PyCharm.
IntelliJ is a Java IDE written in Java by people who are used to how Java works.
PyCharm is a Python IDE written in Java by people who are used to how Java works.
One of them is good.
Python is a virus
I’ll bite, which programming language should people use instead of Python?
Well, obviously, we should all exclusively program in Haskell.
