Hello,
I installed Ubuntu a few months ago on my work laptop and I’ve been running and loving it since.
However, I am used to VsCode, so this is what I am using in Ubuntu as well.
So I am curious, what kind of coding so you do? And what is your workflow.
I am an embedded firware developper and mainly use C. I am cross compiling my code in VsCode for a FPGA from Xilinx (dual core arm + PL)
Never dove into make files and cmake more than what I needed in the past, but I had an opportunity to learn CMake and build a project from it.
So my workflow is :
- Code in VsCode
- Build in CMake
- Transfer the app through scp on the target with a custom script (target is running petalinux, which is yocto + Xilinx recipes)
- Use gdb server to debug the code.
It’s a pretty simple workflow, but I’d like to know what you guys are running so that I can maybe upgrade my workflow.
Am I the weird one that just uses jetbrains for everything?
Nope - that’s exactly my workflow too.
I do too. Nvim for text editing, vs code for the occasional one/two file script, jetbrains for anything more extensive
Isn’t JetBrains a paid suite? I’ve heard a lot of good things about it, but since my workflow is basic, VsCode was always the choice wherever I worked.
There is a “community edition” which is free.
It’s also open source but only for java.
It’s not just Java. It supports a few other languages as well. I am pretty sure it supports Rust, HTML, JavaScript and maybe a couple others. It doesn’t support Python, Go, PHP, C/C++, or Ruby (as they have separate products for those).
I use it too. It’s very good if you prefer an IDE and one stop shop for it all.
JetBrains, the refactoring tools are much better than any alternative, and that is a great productivity booster. Also, it has excellent remote support. Mainly at the moment, I’m using pycharm and clion.
JetBrains with vim bindings for me.
IntelliJ for Java and Rider for C#. VSCode for everything else.
