CLUSTER CODE-EDITING-IDE · 23 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2012-01-05

Programming IDEs and code editors

This cluster consists of integrated development environments and code editors spanning diverse languages and platforms, from Turbo C-style consoles to web-based proof assistants and scientific Python tools. The dated entries span from 2012 to 2026 with roughly one to two new members per year, indicating a steady but scattered flow of products over a decade. The highest traction is codeblock-compiler-public with 1 star, while other members like wu-bin and lazydotide-bin have 0 stars.

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.

Two labels per entry, never collapsed into one: how it was built, and who stands behind it. Counted over the 20 listed below. Unlabelled means nothing has decided yet — not that the answer is small.
