Finding the proper C IDE

Acry, 22 December 2022

After letting my contract run out I picked up my old projects. In the past years I could only write occasionally in C and gave VSCode a shot. You can checkout the repo

Honestly it’s a pain in the a$$ to find a proper C IDE. If you look at resharper and rider one can really get jealous at modern IDE’s.

However, after fiddling with KDevelop and VSCode I decided to use CLion. But be warned, it’s written in Java and it needs massive resources. Yes I have a subscription (All Products Pack). I won’t even run properly on an MacBook Air M1.

Here is a quick video comparing CLion & VSCode

Happy Hacking,
