Any news on plans for intellij to challenge the new vscode cloud first model where language services and build and test runners run on the cloud, leaving a lightweight (cough never thought I'd say that about an eletron app) frontend on the client only

Is this something people really want?

[hho]

No, this is something cloud providers really want 😉

https://coder.com/ - you can self host (just 1 example)

IDEs fight for ms in latency and responsiveness. Why would you want to make it over a network?

[sitepodmatt]

This is different, this isn't a remote X window or RDP hosted IDE, the IDE and a cache of the code exist locally but the language services (and all their dependencies), repo, and build and test runners hosted remotely. you still get zero latency typing. At least that's my understanding

[sitepodmatt]

You can fire up a VSCode connected to mycloudide-services.localregion.digitalocean.com on a 2gb 2-in-1 tablet and develop remotely against a stable persisted development environment

coder.com seems browser actually. trying to find what I was reading I think somekind of vscode enhancement for cloud connected developing... disregard for now

I would really enjoy concurrent editing especially for training sessions in our KUG. (but requirements are somewhat different I guess)

[sitepodmatt]

This is what I was referring to https://code.visualstudio.com/blogs/2019/05/02/remote-development gotta little distracted by coder.com and some other posts

[bjonnh]

I guess you could do that with sshfs and having your gradle go through ssh

[bjonnh]

I'm doing that for other kind of software, it works pretty transparently

[sitepodmatt]

True, I think the language services still run locally though right?

[bjonnh]

Can't say
