Hi Russel, Thanks for opening the issue. We would really like to have an IDE support Chapel, but don¹t have the resources to undertake it ourselves at this point. In Chapel¹s current stage of development, language features and performance improvements remain the top priority for core developers. Projects like this will have to rely on contributors from the broader Chapel community for the time being until more resources become available or IDE support rises on our priority list.
