Is there a working editor for F# or Scala

[Alain De Vos]

The vscode plugins don't work.
Rider & Idea don't work.
So i need to switch to linux ...

 

[USerID]

Win/Mac/Lin only.

I have a connection with intellifactory.com. Let me reach out there and see if there is any interest in helping get things working on FreeBSD.

Vim and Emacs

Is there a language server for Scala or F#? You could integrate those in neovim.

 

[astyle]

I can suggest devel/py-jupyter and editors/kate. With devel/py-jupyter, you can have a language server for any language you want. Kate editor offers a surprising amount of features, too.

If you want exotic languages on exotic operating systems it is probably best to rely on Emacs and its language-specific modes. They run everywhere and won't be taken away from you.

 

[Alain De Vos]

F# and Scala are not exotic They just run on JVM or Dotnet. They run fine on Windows & Linux.
Emacs is too complicated for me.
Rider & Idea are rely good editors. Fantastic. They are just Swing applications.

Saying you program in F# and Scala in one sentence, and "emacs is to complicated" in another sentence, seems like a contradiction.

Speaking of emacs, it seems that the developer of CC Mode has recently left.

My resignation from Emacs development

Ugh. That could put a dent in my timeline.

But still, I think that learning Emacs (the one with the graphical menu) is actually less time than chasing countless other editors, learning them, dealing with their changes, not to mention getting them on FreeBSD and keeping them while the ports tree evolves.
