I’m trying out Fleet, the brand new IDE from JetBrains that’s in closed beta. Are there any plans on making Cursive work for Fleet as well as IDEA?

Maybe, but it’s a totally unknown quantity at this point. There’s no plugin API or information for plugins devs yet, and since the UI framework is totally different it’s likely to be a non-trivial amount of work. It’s a little unclear to me where Fleet sits in JB’s product offering too, and how many people are likely to pay for it.

I have a grandfathered license for all products and will definitely try it out upon release. This feels like a competitor to VS Code. The JetBrains IDEs are standalone versions of IntelliJ features for different languages / environments. In a polyglot world, the feature bloat of IntelliJ and plugin overhead is now an oft recurring headache. However, these features and plugins are robust enough to keep me tied to the platform. I would use Fleet for most editing and navigation if the lightweight mode works well enough. Yet still imagine myself using IntelliJ / Cursive for Clojure work to take advantage of the REPL integration.

Hey Colin, just dropping in to say that I installed the latest eap of Cursive and I really like the author annotations addition - completely took me by surprise and is a great addition ta!

No worries, glad you’re liking it! There are probably a bunch more I can add similar to what’s around for other languages, but they’ll need a little more investigation.

I have a macro that evaluates to a (deftest...) is there a way to have it play friendly with the cursive test support?
