Fleet, a brand new IDE, appeared on JetBrains’ website yesterday (Nov. 29)

Who is it? The e style of the app doesn’t look like JB’s own son.

However, IT’s my responsibility to tell you that this is JetBrains’ next IDE, no problem real son.

The Fleet is still in development stage, there has been no open download to use, if you want to, you can through this link (www.jetbrains.com/fleet/previ…

When I saw the news, I immediately applied for it, but the official said it was not clear when it would be approved.

Although not yet available, you can get some information about Fleet on the Fleet website.

Fleet claims to have been built from the ground up, with a new architecture and user interface. But I have to say, your interface looks a lot like VS Code, albeit a little nicer.

Fleet is positioned as a lightweight editor, but it has lost none of the things it should have:

  • Intelligent completion
  • refactoring
  • navigation
  • debugging

And all the functionality that’s always been in the IDE, and more importantly, it’s all in one click.

In the past, JetBrains used to install as many JetBrains ides as you could in as many languages. Now you don’t have to worry about memory or hard drives anymore. Fleet, like VS Code, works with a wide range of popular programming languages.

In addition to the usual functionality and requirements, Fleet has some surprises.

The first surprise

Fleet is distributed and supports the following scenarios

  • Collaborative development: Multiple customers working in the same development environment and interacting with each other.
  • Remote/Cloud IDE: A development environment hosted elsewhere, such as a remote machine, cluster, or cloud.
  • Multi-target file system: Develop and run a project involving multiple machines or containers, for example, a microservices-based application.

Second surprise

Space provides choreography support to easily start remote server instances from the source repository and support customization using Dockerfile.

Surprise number three

Fleet supports full team collaboration, allowing people on a team to simultaneously develop the same project, edit the same or different files, run tests, access terminals, and perform other functions expected of a collaborative IDE.

JetBrains is a great company, and as a developer, it’s impossible not to use one of its products without having heard of it.

Their products (PyCharm, Goland) are often compared to VS Code.

The relationship between them is a bit like Django and Flask. JetBrains can be used right out of the box with very little configuration, which leads to PyCharm being very heavy, and some poorly configured computers running out of memory, whereas VS Code is very lightweight. You need to install some plug-ins to make it work.

As an IDE professional, JetBrains has a very good understanding of development tools, and the products they produce are quite heavy, so I can fully trust JetBrains’ product capabilities and development capabilities.

Hopefully, the day will come soon when I can uninstall PyCharm Goland Clion at the same time…

Finally, I would like to recommend to you my personal e-book PyCharm Chinese Guide. PyCharm Chinese Guide uses more than 300 GIFs to explain in detail 105 pyCharms that are most applicable to actual development. The content is easy to understand. Suitable for all Python developers.

The current version is 2.0. Since the shortcut keys of PyCharm are different in different systems, I have specially divided the e-book into Mac and Win versions in order to take care of students with different systems.
