Why I hate iOS as a developer m

Dealing with iOS (and really Apple in general) is like trying to have a conversation with a paranoid robot working as a soviet border officer in a Kafka novel.

KDevelop for Windows: Official 5.0.1 beta installer available now | KDevelop

Today, we are happy to announce the availability of the first official KDevelop installer for Microsoft Windows. The installer is for the stable KDevelop 5.0.1 release, but we still release it as a beta, since there might be Windows-specific issues.

We primarily support C/C++ development, but also have great plugins for Python and PHP development (shipped in the Windows installer by default).

KDevelop itself is based on a plugin-based architecture where language support as such is just yet another plugin. There are other plugins (cppcheck, clang-tidy, etc.) not distributed on Windows (yet).
