A short follow-up to the OpenSCAD plugin post - quite a lot has landed since May.

Joovy is out - Apache 2.0, on GitHub.

The name is Julia + Groovy. Groovy gave Java a dynamic layer without leaving the JVM. Joovy does the same for Julia.

A quick one: Flexible Haskell.

Haskell tooling in JetBrains IDEs has been in a strange place for years. There are a few plugins around, and most of them are either abandoned or stuck. So we wrote one.

Next up: Flexible Elixir.

We built this one for our own production Elixir projects, which is usually the right reason to build a thing.

So this is an unofficial one: Flexible for Flox.

I like Flox. It gives you the whole Nix package universe without making you learn Nix first, which is exactly the trade I wanted. What it did not have was a proper IDE integration. So… you know how this goes by now.

Okay, so - Flexible for Arduino.

I have a drawer full of ESP32 boards. You know how it goes. And the thing that always got me was the serial monitor: the board resets, spits out a Guru Meditation panic, resets again, and you sit there squinting at a wall of scrolling output trying to work out what died.

This one took a while: Flexible ABAP.

ABAP is one of those languages where you are basically stuck with whatever tooling SAP hands you. If you’ve spent time in Eclipse with ADT, you know exactly what I mean.

Alright, another one: AIVory Genie is out.

Everyone and their dog is shipping an AI agent plugin right now (woof). So why another one? Because I kept hitting the same two annoyances and got tired of it.
