Today, we’ve finally released our IntelliJ IDEA plugin for use with the Gosu Community Releases, along with a new release of Gosu itself. A few open source projects using Gosu will also be releasing updated versions to work with the new Gosu and IntelliJ plugin releases. The official Gosu CR announcement is over on the gosu-lang group:

While the official IntelliJ IDEA plugin announcement is on the new gosu-idea group:

(Note that these releases are not part of any current Guidewire products and won’t work with any current Guidewire products; these are simple the standalone “community release” versions of the Gosu language and the plugin). I’ve been playing with the plugin for several weeks as part of getting Tosa ready for an associated release, and I can definitely say that they make programming in Gosu a lot faster and a lot more fun. So if you’ve been turned off by Gosu in the past due to the weak tooling support, especially if you’re used to Java IDEs, now’s the time to start checking it out!
