JetBrains Research Laboratory Quarterly Report

Behind the four months of winter. All this time we have been working hard to make our products perfect (you can already try them in the latest versions), and today is the day for summing up the quarterly results of our research lab.

Augmented Reality in the life of a developer

Augmented Reality. Harasses us in all news feeds for a dozen years, and it would seem, how many have already been said, how many songs have been sung. But what is the purpose of this whole “concert”? Where is the secret driving force, and who is the main potential consumer of the new technology? In general, for whom the companion Google tries? Diligent and hardworking staff of our laboratory found the answer to this question for you. More details.

C ++ deserves a better IDE

Do you know how things are going with the popularity of programming languages ​​today? Noticed: despite the success of the Ruby language (and even Bash ?!), some developers, it seems to us, still do not get pleasure from using our IDE. Of course, we are talking about C / C ++ adherents. We tried to partially correct this situation with the help of AppCode, which remarkably supports Obj-C and C / C ++, but not all labor programmers use MacOS. For the sake of justice, our team prepared the following decision. To learn more.

Dream news reader

The universal grief for the loss of Google Reader has touched everyone. But maybe this opens up new perspectives for something better? Find out what we think.

Green coding

Did you know that with each new bit or byte used, the amount of emissions of toxic CO increases, forests are cut down, ozone holes and traffic jams grow on the border with Finland? Enough tolerating this. We have made a willful decision to begin the fight against this global problem. Send us your unused source, obsolete builds and dusty document archives. Recycled bits and bytes will be included in our latest releases and preserve the environment. Help us now.


We will be happy if you share your ideas: which areas of research should you pay attention to in our laboratory. For us, it is important that the tools created make the developer's life more fun and more enjoyable, while the quality and cleanliness of the environment, especially the developer’s environment, come first.

Develop with pleasure and for the good of nature!
