Some of you might know this already, but to reach a greater group of people, I will make a short announcement here too.
It started with a
simple idea in 2012 which was only possible due to the very specific front end behavior in Mathematica 9.0.0 (and only there). This gave me the final push to start a project I always wanted start: An open-source IDE for Mathematica packages with support for features I have always dreamed of. The project is now at a state where it can be used and, although many features are still missing, I'm proud to present the
Mathematica Plugin for IntelliJ IDEA
I really don't want to duplicate all information here, because everything can be found on the above web-site, but to give you at least some impression what to expect, let me give a direct link to the
Highlights Video on YouTubeOne of the great strengths of the plugin is the camel-hump autocompletion which works for everything. You just start writing and IDEA suggests you the correct function or variable:
Another interesting features is that the usages for all built-in functions are directly available during coding
And not only for functions, for operators too.
If you are interested and want to try it or (even better) want to help, I would be delighted.
Also: visit the
official stackexchange post.
Cheers
