JetBrains / AI powered IDE

[wriedmann]

Hello,
since it seems we are definitely needing some AI support: has someone looked at the JetBrains tools lately?
And Syncfusion seems also to have prepared an AI powered IDE, but unfortunately I have missed their presentation.

Hi, I worked a lot with Jetbrains Tools because we were using also Teamcity, Pycharm, IntelliJ ( because of TeamCity) ., Clion.
Would it be an option to use Rider for X# ?
See you in Potsdam / Rainer

Hi Rainer,
I do not know if that is possible, but I see it as an option.
Currently, the part of my company that works on web based software (using PHP) is evaluating a switch to PHP Storm (the PHP IDE from JetBrains) because of their AI support.

Hi Wolfgang , I like it because of : the Plugin integration ( Im using things like doc as code , infrastructure as code... ) As I do also things like Python, Kotlin , Jetbrains is the 1st choice .
Im also using the build server ( TeamCity) and we evaluated Youtrack. Btw. they have a very fair license model.
Btw :upcoming webinar, Top Developer Trends of 2025: AI Usage, Productivity, and the Rise of TypeScript, taking place Wednesday, December 10, at 4:00 PM UTC.

I know a lot of people are using Rider for .net ( don't know if you can integrate X# , but as the base is .net, maybe a option )

See you in Potsdam

Hi Guys,
I don't want to be too optimistic, but....
I've have been working on a XSharp LSP Server (Language server protocol) for VSCode as a side-project, when i got some free time ! , but it is more a proof-of-concept by now. (it only support some basics of syntax coloring using the existing VSParser)
The very early version seems to work (at least on my laptop).

The interesting part is that Rider/IntelliJ is supporting LSP since 2021, and that Rider should know how to use MSBuild files.

This needs to be confirmed and tested, but that might be solution

Cheers

Hi Fabrice , thumbs up like it,
what u will also get : Teamcity with Plugin to IDE for doing private Builds and more. There is also a .net runner.

see : https://www.jetbrains.com/help/teamcity/net.html and https://www.jetbrains.com/teamcity/download/
regarding msbuild : https://www.jetbrains.com/help/teamcity/msbuild.html

I was running Teamcity in my last job...

Hi Fabrice,
that could be great and would be another option.

Hi Fabrice,
would it be possible that you release your current prototype?

Wolfgang,

you want me to spoil parts of my "Freak Night" presentation !!??

Well, don't say it too loud, but it's already published on the web

Go to my github account : https://github.com/fforay
From there, the xsharp-tools repo contains a release (vsix) that contains the LSP Server for VScode (and more)
The xsharp-lsp-server contains the LSP Server itself

Again, this is NOT on my top-list : It started as an idea 2 years ago when I had an intership at Robert's office.
Then, when working on the material for the REST Session in Postdam, I thought that having an extension to build/run fromVSCode was needed (as it has been build for .NET 8), I was then using the great Syntax Coloring extension from InfoMinds... but I decided to give it another try, and here we are.
But if possible, I would be very happy to push this a bit further, either with VSCode (or Rider now)
