I’ve been using Zasper as my IDE because of its concurrency support and speed, but I’m curious about other options out there. I know there are a ton of code editors and IDEs available, but I want to find something that works well for data apps, especially if it supports Jupyter notebooks. Anyone have good recommendations?
You should definitely try Notepad++. It’s free and open-source, and I think it could work well for your needs.
Notepad++ is great for coding. Does it have good support for Jupyter notebooks though?
It doesn’t support Jupyter natively, but you can use plugins to make it work.
Have you looked into Visual Studio Code? It’s super popular and has plenty of extensions for data apps.
Yeah, I love VS Code. How does it handle performance with large data sets?
It’s pretty efficient. I’ve worked with large files and it handles them well.
VSCodium is a good alternative too. It’s basically VS Code but without the telemetry.
Interesting, I didn’t know that. Is it as user-friendly as VS Code?
For sure, it has the same interface, so you won’t miss a beat.
Sublime Text is also a solid choice. It’s fast and has a minimal footprint.
I’ve heard good things about Sublime. How’s it with extensions?
It has a decent package manager, so you can find what you need pretty easily.
You might want to consider Vim too. It’s lightweight and very customizable if you’re into that.
Vim sounds cool, but is it hard to learn for someone new?
It has a steep learning curve, but once you get the hang of it, it’s super powerful.
