JetBrains history from 2000 is recounted, explaining the core technical idea of running compiler front-end components (lexing, parsing, type and flow analysis) interactively over source code. It describes the company’s growth to 22 developer products and outlines current problems—IDE stalls during indexing, aging Swing UI, high memory use of Electron, slow build systems, and limits of single‑machine workflows—and mentions JetBrains Labs prototyping cloud and multi‑machine IDE solutions.
