Jetbrains is developing the next-generation editor, benchmarking against VS Code

IDEA creator Jetbrains has been asked many times: "When will JetBrains create a lightweight editor?". Now this problem is becoming a reality. Jetbrains just announced a new product: a lightweight editor Fleet

Different lightweight editor

A slightly different lightweight editor! The product manager of Fleet . I think everyone looks forward to this new editor just like me. The official released some spy photos, let's take a look at it.

Fleet has syntax highlighting, simple code completion and all the functions you expect from an editor, it is far less than that.

Fleet also has intelligent completion, reconstruction, navigation, debugging, and all the functions that have always existed in the IDE. You can turn on/off these functions with one key, making it simple and traditional.

Support multiple languages

Visual Studio Code is the first brother of the current lightweight editor, which supports multiple languages. Fleet as a competing product, naturally also supports multiple languages.

Distributed architecture

incredible! The editors all use a distributed architecture.

Fleet was built from the ground up to meet the needs of developers who don't necessarily work on local projects. It doesn't matter whether your project is locally, in a container, or thousands of miles away. Because it uses a virtual file system, you can use Fleet for project development locally and remotely in the same way.

Fleet is distributed, divided into front-end, back-end, workspace server and file system observer program. This allows Fleet itself to run in a distributed manner, for example, scenarios that allow analysis and other operations to be run on remote machines.

Support multi-person collaboration

Fleet connects the idea of collaboration. Whether it is local or remote, you can easily collaborate on multi-person projects. It can simultaneously process the same or different files, run tests, access the terminal, and perform other functions expected by the collaborative IDE.

Fleet's positioning

Fleet is not to replace one's own home or other IDEs. Fleet's goal is to meet those scenarios that may only need an editor, but also require powerful functions in the IDE, and users who want to use a single tool instead of multiple dedicated tools to provide a different experience. At present, Fleet has opened a limited number of experience rights, you need to fill in the application form to apply for joining the Fleet Explorer program. The number of participants is limited, please apply quickly if you are interested.
