About time.

My biggest gripe with Java has always been the tooling ecosystem, almost every java engineer I know solves this with the attitude of "just use intellij".

No. I won't, I refuse to use that, and I refuse to give a company money just to use a language as efficiently as other languages.

I am very happy to see that there's progress being made here. I wish you the best of luck!

IntelliJ has free open-source distribution so you don’t need to pay anything for using it. To each their own, I guess.
