ActiveState releases Komodo for GNU/Linux

Posted by timothy on from the neither-beer-nor-lunch-nor-speech dept.

TorinEdge writes "ActiveState has finally released (as in out of Beta) their Komodo IDE for the GNU/Linux platform! Komodo is an integrated dev environment for open source languages. It provides colour-coded editing (and "code-folding" for collapsing sections of code), debugging etc... It's optimized for Perl, Python, PHP, Tcl, and XSLT. Includes the RxToolkit for testing/checking your regular expressions; a godsend. Get it while it's hot!"

    Most of these languages are also supported (or in the process of being supported) in Eclipse. Which is open-source and cross platform and easy to extend.

  2. What I really need is... by cornice · · Score: 4, Insightful

    What I really need is an IDE that helps me manage projects but has support for xemacs, gvim or whatever happens to be the best editor today. I know there is another post like this labeled as flaim bait but I think that recreating the editor is a mistake. That's one area where there are fast, mature, time tested, extensible options. We need more IDEs that recognize this and solve the project management issues that exist rather than waste time on the parts that are already done right.

  3. Re:pricing by ilofwyr · · Score: 4, Informative

    Actually, that pricing/licensing description is quite incorrect. The correct wording (copied directly from the site) is:

    2.0 Professional Edition $295
    For commercial usage. Includes Source Code Control Integration, Visual Package Manager, and ActiveState GUI Builder

    2.0 Personal Edition $29.95
    For non-commercial and educational usage only.
