What it is

`l0ng-ai/openidea` is an Apache-2.0 desktop IDE. Its description frames it as "the IDE you know, rebuilt in Rust," offering an IntelliJ IDEA–style keymap, tool windows and search-everywhere in a fast native app, with an editor, code insight, debugger, Git, terminal, database client and HTTP client for 60+ languages. GitHub reports TypeScript as the primary language; the evidence does not break down which parts are Rust and which are TypeScript, so both statements stand as given rather than as a contradiction to resolve.

Capabilities described

Per the description: code editing with code insight, an integrated debugger, Git integration, a terminal, a database client and an HTTP client, arranged in an IntelliJ-style layout with search-everywhere navigation, across 60+ languages. Topics add code-editor, cross-platform, dap, lsp, debugger and database-client, which correspond to the Debug Adapter Protocol and Language Server Protocol. The README preview contains only a heading for a benchmark section, with no results attached.
