Kenneth Knowles commented on BEAM-11608:
----------------------------------------
I guess I mostly figured that the IDE was the thing that didn't already just
work. Editing files with vim and using gradle are a much lower bar for setup.
If this is focused on pre-IDE setup then I can see how my assumptions may fail:
a Java dev will have a Java setup but maybe not the JDK version, and they may
not have Python, virtualenv, or Go installed.
A docker container seems pretty good for this model. And we'll need scripts so
that building the docker image is reproducible, so we can have both layers and
they both add value independently.
I like the idea of requirements. I really _love_ the interface for Homebrew's
{{brew doctor}} command, identifying issues and suggesting fixes. This way you
don't need to trust the script with your privileges.

> steps into a shell script.
