So that I understand...

I guess the logic here is: If I love this project, I should renew my JetBrains subscription...so that they can keep having money to fix bugs in their IDE...so that you can keep reverse engineering it?

Am I seeing this right?

rustyhancock•36m ago
The Readme has that first pass vibe coded feel.

Which isn't the vibe I want from my editor.

I know this exact comment is probably becoming tedious on HN, but it's very rare that a tool I pay for is so bad I'll jump ship for 0.1.0 alpha if a clone.

Long story short, I'm keeping my sub.

imtringued•35m ago
Yes, you still have to pay Jetbrains to release their prompt.
jarym•41m ago
2025 was all about 'Rust' on HN and 2026 is all about 'rebuilding everything in Rust'. Comical on one level and yet intriguing.

"rebuilt in Rust"

looks inside

60% Typescript

Yeah, didn't think so...

Deukhoofd•25m ago
Yeah, it's a Tauri app, which makes the claim in the README about it being a native app also rather a lie.

Did Tauri ever figure out how to run performantly on Linux, or are they still using webkit2gtk? They were looking at integrating Servo last time I checked, but I have no clue how far they've progressed with that since.

bendowlingdev•16m ago
I dont think the author knows what either of those things are. The whole thing is vibed.
aenis•6m ago
Which is ironic. Why would a vibe coder need an IDE anyway?
outloudvi•35m ago
Sorry if I'm wrong, but does people pay for JetBrains product subscriptions not for a continuously maintained IDE, but for a Rust-based IDE?
alex_smart•33m ago
How is this not a trademark infringement?
prmoustache•18m ago
well, it is not called intellij idea for a start.

If you do a lookup at WIPO brands database you can find "intellij" and "intellij idea" owned by Jetbrains s.r.o. but not "idea" alone.

Based on this only a judge can decide if it is close enough to be an infringement and could misled customers. Given the readme days eplicitely says it is not the same IDE as Intellij IDEA I would say it would be hard to convince someone customers are misled.

exceptione•27m ago
Interesting project. It seems it uses CodeMirror [1] in the Tauri frontend (60% of total code is typescript), but uses rust in the backend (30%). Surprising to see that Tauri is apparently good enough for the three platforms it needs to support (or it uses a lot of hacks, I don't know). The advertised memory reduction is remarkable as I expected a full web view to be a bit memory heavy. Not sure how this IDE keeps up with large documents or a lot of opened views though.

vibed a tauri app the other day ~60MB RAM usage. quite happy with that!

From the promo video:

> completion from language servers

That's exactly the thing that I like about idea: It's better than that.

jttnr•20m ago
That is exactly what I value in IDEA. Language server integration offers the same level of completion and functionality in all other editors, too.

IDEA is much smarter than what a language server alone offers.

Looks like Qt Creator after all.

I bet it's a lot of fun being a Rust programmer / coder.

armchairhacker•21m ago
They should’ve copied the classic UI.
borzi•11m ago
The only value adding vibe coded software I've used so far has been clones of existing software that can then be used for free since now it's in a legal greyzone and you can pretend it's not piracy...all thanks to subsidized subscriptions enabled by companies who are in part the publishers of the software that is being cloned. What a time to be alive...
devnull3•11m ago
Where Rust scores over Go is not so much on the speed but memory usage. As memory is becoming expensive (and likely to stay for sometime), the appeal for Rust increases.

The large disk space usage for Rust is much more solvable than speed-up in Rust compilation as long as crate remains the lowest compilation unit.

Barring this, even for AI based development Golang is much better language. But Rust's long term payoff is too good at this point.
