Integrating with foreign IDE's
Posted: 22 Feb 2018 20:20
Thomas, since you stress the importance of a VCS, here are my two cents:
Modern IDE's are integrated with a VCS, primarily with GIT, which helps a lot with the learning curve. As a spin-off it is a natural to be able to invoke a sophisticated diff view so that the changes (= progress or mistakes ) made become evident.
Examples are Web Storm (or PHP Storm) - commercial - and Visual Studio Code - open source. Both also support other VCS-es besides GIT. I use both for Web development and full stack development. Both can accommodate all sorts of programming languages.
Would't it be nice if somebody wrote a VP plug-in for one of these IDE's plus a VP Command Language Interface - CLI - which does the compiling/testing in the background?
