quick question, I saw there is a plugin for IntelliJ. However I cannot find it in marketplace (https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/14291-arrow-meta). why?

[raulraja]

hi @server, there wasn’t an official release and it’s discontinued as it won’t be necessary when FIR is stable in the compiler and we can build our plugins based on it. IDEA picks up FIR changes automatically.

[server]

@raulraja so arrow meta should work without any plugin right now, right?

[raulraja]

not until we adapt to FIR. the current quotes features have been removed and have to be redone with the new types. We plan on addressing this as soon as FIR is stable after 1.6.20 or whenever they label it as such. The compiler plugin extension point is not yet exposed in the current kotlin version for FIR

[raulraja]

all other parts of meta for IR and others work as before, never had IDEA integration

[raulraja]

or needed it but the frontend is were all the meta action needs to happen and that is currently changing apis in the compiler

@raulraja when this 1.6.20 is released? and whe you feel intellij will support arrow meta?

[raulraja]

1.6.20 is around the corner and when FIR is enabled you will be able to depend on the compiler api if you want until meta adapts to it. We hope to have something sometime this year depending on the evolution of the compiler. We can’t promise a specific date until the apis in the compiler stabilise and we assess the effort. Based on what has been discussed in the community around FIR it’s supposed to support IDEA so when that happens and meta is adapted we will too, hopefully some time this year.
