Look Ma – No Indexing! by Yuriy Artamonov

Summary

This tech conference session focuses on JetBrains IDE plugin development, specifically on improving plugin performance and user experience through better indexing. It highlights how indexing was historically essential for core features but has evolved to allow more functionality even when indexing is still in progress. The practical takeaway is that developers should implement progressive enhancement to ensure plugins remain usable and performant for users, even during initial indexing.
