Ask Me Anything (AMA) With the WebStorm Team
summary
WebStorm adds concrete support for Deno via the Deno plugin and close collaboration with the Deno team, and ships Svelte 5 syntax and ESLint 9 handling; a new native TypeScript type checker plugs into completions and refactorings (EAP builds show big stability and performance gains but it’s not enabled by default). The codebase runs in a huge monorepo with ~370,000 tests, the platform moves to Kotlin coroutines for speed, AI uses a hybrid local/cloud LLM for stronger completions, and Code With Me remains the built-in live‑coding tool.
