So, it’s an IDE? For what language(s)

MJBrune, 5 months ago

Looks like for everything there is plugins and lsp support for. Like vsc but not Microsoft.

It’s a text editor.

I use it like I use notepad ++ on Windows.

It is pretty powerful. We use it in RKWard (GUI/IDE) for #rstats.

It supports many languages. Have a look at https://kate-editor.org/.

It's a feature-rich text editor with LSP support. I suppose you could use it as a simple IDE, though I haven't tried it.

It supports many languages and it has LSP and DAP support. As long as there is a language server and debug adapter binaries, Kate should pick them up and work with the language. And if there’s no default config, you can add your own.

Marcan reverse-engineered Apple’s M1/2 silicon using only Kate and konsole.

Someone mains Kate for development? That’s really cool actually, I’ve always just seen it as a better default text editor

penquin, 5 months ago (edited 5 months ago)

He is the developer who reverse-engineered the whole apple silicon thing, and he did it with kate and konsole. lol. I have watched so many of his live streams on youtube, the dude even uses Gentoo with KDE. He is a genius.

Please link the stream.

penquin, 5 months ago
