i've been waiting very long for kite. i'm a little disappointed that its python only for now with just 3 editors that are supported. also, i don't see myself signing up for a subscription. what happened to buying software?
Antonio Bustamante
@gopietz Hi Pietz! We're adding more support and more languages soon. I hear you about the pricing, but Kite is not a traditional piece of software that we could sell as a unit for a fixed price. It's backed by constant improvement of our models, most computation is done in the cloud, and it has continuous updates. One example is that we could just not fit all of our dataset in your hard drive, and the computations required to give you information about your code would make your CPU at 100% continuously.

This is really really cool. Any reason that IPython/Jupyter is not supported yet? Forthcoming?

Congrats @asmith and @antonio_bustamante! What is the most surprising thing you learned since launching last year about how people use Kite?
Antonio Bustamante
@eriktorenberg We've definitely learned a lot! Most importantly, by introducing beta users to the platform, we've been able to prioritize the most important features, where to put all our polishing efforts, and how to better blend with programmers' workflows. It's definitely not enough with providing a better way to code, but we also need to make it easy to integrate into how people currently code. Changing habits isn't easy, so the value needs to be solid and clear.

Looks great. I will try it tomorrow with the PyCharm.

Congrats to the Kite team, looks great!

Congrats on the launch! As any early beta user on public code, I was really impressed by Kite and my only concern was ability to use it on private codebases ie, work code. Glad to see that you've addressed that. Does the Sublime integration support packages installed in the current virtual environment (that might not be publicly available)?
Antonio Bustamante
@kicksopenminds Hi Taylor! Thank you! If the virtual environment is whitelisted, it should work! (Details about whitelisting: http://help.kite.com/article/12-...)

I'll be keeping an eye for JavaScript as well. Looks very promising. Seems to have the best of Visual Studio, but without the clutter. Great job guys.
Wilhem Pujar
I like that. Looking forward to your JS release.
