That’s the first time I’ve heard a positive review of Cider. Compared to IntelliJ it was really lacking.
I’ve never used IntelliJ, or Java for that matter. I’m primarily an embedded robotics developer, so most of the time I’m writing C or a subset of C++ for uC/DSP target, or using SciPy for data analysis and algorithm development. I recognize that probably puts me way outside of the norm for most people and software engineers in terms of process preferences.
Still super cool to hear about your workflow. Makes me wish I had an excuse to spend time experimenting with that stuff.
