Re: Eclipse as a development tool?

I am trying something that's 5x smaller than Atom but is still a "proper" IDE and rather easy using.
We'll see if it pans out - i won't promote it unless i can coax console/debugger into it.

I have tried Atom and at 250MB+ it's far from "light". What does it say if developing with Atom is "way lighter" than Eclipsing?!

When I had a small disk and a small ram, I thought of "heavy" in terms of the weight of my tools on my desk. Now that I have a large disk and a large ram, I think of "heavy" in terms of the weight of the task on my brain. Currently, Eclipse weighs about 7,000 exaneurons, compared to Atom's 15 exaneurons.


Yeah, I never put that way, but the "perception" in this case is more important than the "hard numbers" 🙂

Re: Eclipse as a development tool?

As of April 2022, Roku has discontinued support for the Eclipse IDE plugin. See this official blog post for the announcement . Instead, I highly recommend checking out the BrightScript Language extension for Visual Studio Code.
