But I think it should have stayed general purpose and extensible, and not lock languages out to move people to another (but essentially the same) IDE.
It wouldn't surprise me in the least to see them split the javascript portion off into its own editor suite as well.Ītom may not be or have everything that IntelliJ does, but because it is open source, and extensible, and not controlled by a singular entity, I know that I don't have to worry about it changing like that in the future.ĭon't get me wrong, though - I like IntelliJ, I think it's a great IDE (started out with PHPStorm). Essentially dinging you twice for what should be the same damn product. So now - if for instance you want to do NodeJS robotics work, and interface to an Arduino (for example), you would need to use regular IntelliJ with the extensions for javascript, and CLion separately for C/C++ development.
That changed, though - and they split CLion off the main branch. It used to be there was a plugin package to allow you to use IntelliJ for C/C++ development, in addition to all the other languages. That actually happened with IntelliJ - which is one reason why I'm trying to move over to Atom. And, sometimes it's good advice to use good tools even if you don't do it often, but expect to do it again in the future (I find myself working on things that require soldering every couple of years, but expect that'll be true for the rest of my life, so I might as well use a decent iron to do it.it's not like they stop working after being stored for a year). Nonetheless, it's just good advice to use good tools if you do something often. I have cheap tools I bought in that era that are higher quality than the same brand/model today. Also, I suspect cheap tools have gotten worse since 1991. I merely found it difficult to use the cheap pencil iron to get good results, because good results required a lot more out of me, mostly in the form of patience waiting for it to get hot. But, really, when you've gotta wait 15 minutes for it to heat up, and then after a few joints you have to wait some more because it cooled off in the process.really, is it a good, or even usable, tool? Sure, I'm a poor craftsman in this regard I don't solder enough to ever be good at it. But I know, at least for myself, that what iron I use doesn't make a difference in the project, but rather the skills I bring to the table.Īs the old saying goes, "a poor craftsman blames his tools". I also have a couple of older temp controlled irons - and they are great tools as well honestly, I prefer them over my old iron. I've assembled tons of things with it over the years. Now, I'm not saying you could do SMT rework using it, but basic thru-hole is no problem at all. The tip is not in the greatest shape.īut I can tin that puppy up and solder perfectly with it. You have to wait like 15 minutes for it to heat up. It's something like a 35 watt pencil iron, and the tip is janky like nobody's business. I have a soldering iron that has to be the cheapest of the cheap, that I've had since 1991 I got it when I went to a local votech electronics school fresh from high school. If I ever could get my lazy butt in gear, I want to make a video to prove that you can solder competently with a cheap and crappy soldering iron.
