How I Use VSCode to Code for B4X Platform - A Productivity Boost

[AnandGupta]

I don't agree. Most of the time the syntax are not correct and wasting my time. I need to spend time telling it to try again and again, provided I have to know it did wrong.

Agree fully on B4X language the A.I. gives out garbage most of time and we can smell the codes as we know better than it.

Not agree on C# as A.I. helped and is helping me to build app most of time giving better and perfect code, and I have zero knowledge of c#.
Maybe C# is very old and through out the internet is the reason.

Also I think A.I. is better helpful to those with novice knowledge and not much to experts in a language.

Good Idea, I just would like B4X IDE to have a GitHub Integration Built In

I don't know how efficient (and error-free) that Codeium is, which I don't know (thanks for this information) but the B4* IDE is quite useful, you can't do without it, its "suggestions" are indispensable (not to mention that for some time now it also allows you to insert your own snippets, although my tool lmSnippetManager is incredibly magnificent and indispensable )

Edit:
For those who haven't tried programming with a copilot yet, here's an example of what I mean. Everything shown in gray is what the AI suggested. If I want to accept the suggestion, I just press Tab. In this example, the only thing I typed was the word "Sub" and the name of the function I wanted—the AI wrote the entire function. And it can do much more than that: it can comment, correct, improve, and even modify code.

As I mentioned in post #16, 'Of course, the IDE itself remains essential, but VSCode’s code completion really takes things to another level.' This was just one example—AI and VSCode can actually help in so many different ways, and we’re just starting to scratch the surface.

And as you said yourself, you use VSCode except for programming. I think you should give it a try... I’m genuinely just trying to share a positive experience, and if you’re not open to it, that’s totally fine. But I’m hopeful that my post will be helpful to others—and maybe even inspire you—to explore new tools and see what they can do.

Erel has launched a new search for the community. The new search uses the big language model, which can support intelligent coding. If b4x ide supports plugins in the future, I'm sure a lot of wonderful things will happen.
