Features

  • Fast (at least faster than Emacs/Eclipse/IntelliJ/CLion/VSCode/Atom)
  • Lightweight (Just a tiny Java Swing application)
  • Kotlin compiler integration (100% correct parsing)
  • JetBrains IDE icons
  • Build as jar/class files, run after build, just one click
  • Cross platform (windows/macos/linux), just an executable jar
  • One property-based configuration file, hackable
  • Experimental Java support
  • Plugin system based on ServiceLoader

Just a simple comparison:
