We're pure Rust and hopefully faster. But yeah, plenty of competition in the space!

I work on the linux kernel using CLion and the IDE is still fast. I would not be interested in a non-Java IDE for the performance.

Are you using 32-core / 100GB RAM monster machine? I do everything on my rather powerful laptop, but Jetbrains IDEs are just too much. I can't have more than one project open at time, which is limiting. I didn't try CLion, only IntelliJ for Scala and Rider for C#/F#, all on smallish projects and it will still take 3-6GB of memory :|

I'd be interested in even lighter than VSCode IDE ;)

I can easily open 20ish projects, but the experience is often still sort of sluggish.

Like, change a file outside of the editor, open it again, and it’ll sit there stuttering for a bit while it realizes the file is updated and it has to re-index.

It’s not the end of the world, but the experience there could be more fluid. Because you do this often (e.g. every time you switch a git branch)

I often have several simultaneous PyCharm projects open with separate completely introspected and navigable virtualenv's with lots of installed libraries, and also ongoing DataGrip, and at times CLion or IntelliJ sessions ... all the Jetbrains IDEs are performing quite well. At times running Docker as well. 32GB Macbook Pro M1.

Yeah I'm doing the same on an 2021 intel Mac, I love jet brains stuff!

I feel CLion latencies even on a much smaller project. Sublime Text is faster, and I hope Zed is near. I guess people have different sensitivity for this. It’s not about time waste, it’s just affecting the flow.

I hope it will be much faster. I try JetBrains IDE every couple of years and the sheer latency and lack of text rendering quality is turning me away every time.
