OpenIDEA
A Rust desktop IDE that keeps IntelliJ's keys and tool windows
Emerged finds new products worth a look, daily — what’s new today
Teams that live in IntelliJ's shortcuts get a free, Apache-licensed alternative that starts faster and uses less memory, without retraining anyone's muscle memory.
A desktop IDE with a Rust core for macOS, Windows and Linux that copies the JetBrains way of working: the same shortcuts, docked panels and a single search box for everything. Debugging, Git, a terminal and database and HTTP tools are built in. Plugins run as sandboxed WebAssembly components, though that API is still a preview. Its own benchmark, on one Windows machine, shows a Python project opening faster and in less memory than IntelliJ. Not affiliated with JetBrains.
