A place for developers to talk about building on Farcaster.

/dev

I should've used Zed for this. It was a perfect use case for their multi-buffer. Cursor kinda kept getting in the way with inaccurate suggestions.

anyone actually using intellij / webstorm?

i have for the past ~10y and it's been the best dev env i've ever tried. granted, i used it for java (be) + js (fe), but it was great for both. recently i've been testing vscode/cursor and they're good (especially cursor w claude), but it's far from what i was used to with jetbrains.

i was thinking about building a framework in java, but stuck with @frames and actually haven't touched java since ~frames came out.

yes, for java be (spring boot) -  works the best, for everything else Vs code (+ cursor recently) - always feel more lightweight comparing to intelij + plugins like excalidraw is a bonus 


btw, very curious do you use java for frames in any way?

it just worked very well out of the box - code completion, refactoring, and all the little bits and pieces that don't stand out by themselves, but work together to create a delightful experience. the only thing that bothered me was that it was quite resource-heavy (but at least predictably - vs code would work smoothly 80% of the time and then go into absolute freeze frenzy the rest of the time).

i’ve been using intellij for java and vscode for js and python. i find scripting languages work great in vscode, but intellij is the best ide for java, especially with its plugin support for testing and documentation. i just love the jacoco plugin.

i have never used intellij for fe. how’s your experience? what stands out?

yes, using cursor past week or so and it's incredible. though i think it's just a matter of time before jetbrains integrates more powerful models. i'm still kind of blown away how much love vs code is getting even though it's subjectively way worse than intellij.

renewing my license is the only thing keeping me away from it for now (and also wanted to see for myself whether i'm not missing out on vsc) 😅

Been using Visual Studio (the commercial one) for decades, but since I've switched to Linux I've been using the JetBrains stuff and it's rubbing off on me... The AI Assistant doesn't seem as good as Claude on Cursor, though, so I'm switching between the two now 😃

yep, they definitely need to step it up here

the lack of AI, is what gonna be downfall of jetbrains they need to integrate better AI to win, they used their own ai and its suck coz we can't have the choice to pick between their own ai or claude, one thing i like is the ai commit, in cursor there is no ai commit yet, i wonder why

yeah, the best IDEs for every language. JetBrains Rider for C# is completely different experience

currently using intellij, learning api development

If you're working on a larger project, WebStorm may be a better choice as it has better performance when dealing with large codebases.
