is there any info on the netbeans plugin support? some students in my school are interested in kotlin but can’t switch to IDEA as they have never used and prefer netbeans

[Mike]

I think that was asked/mentioned during the closing at kotlinconf. I got impression that eclipse plugin was a priority and way above net beans as one doesn't hear of many net beans users. If they want kotlin, I'd suggest they use idea community edition.

[Hamza]

Our school only allows Netbeans usage for the CS course, and many students are reluctant to have both ;\

[Dico]

That's a ridiculous rule. Comparable to indoctrination, except not for politics.

[Hamza]

it’s the IB rules. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[Shawn]

lol, hanlon’s razor, right?

[Shawn]

never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity (or lawsuits or laziness)

[Hamza]

Thankfully for the IA you are not language bound

[David B]

Hurts my eyes to see someone prefers netbeans over intellij :)

[Hamza]

If you use it for long enough or when you start it's all you know

[Hamza]

Ahh when I start the course next year what will I do :(

[Hamza]

I will have to use JAVA AND NEATBEANS

[hho]

Java 5.0? 😄

[Hamza]

Java 8

[Nikky]

a prof at our university likes netbeans.. so thats what his students have to work in, its a miracle he did not get strangled yet - old fart

[Mike]

Netbeans users are very loyal, so I personally am reluctant to diss it. Regardless, I strongly prefer IntelliJ 😉

@Hamza How will they know you’re using Netbeans? And they’d actually allow Kotlin? Weird.

The IB computer science course is different from the grade 10 computer science course

[Hamza]

The one in tenth grade (what I'll be taking next year) permits only usage of NetBeans
