About

An Integrated Development Environment (IDE) plugin that facilitates real-time collaborative editing for distributed software development teams. Compatible with Eclipse and IntelliJ IDEA, it enables multiple developers to work concurrently on shared projects, with each participant maintaining a local copy of the project synchronized in real time. Key features include support for multiple concurrent writers, a follow-mode to observe team members' navigation and editing activities, and awareness information displaying recent contributions and current selections of all participants. Saros supports sessions with up to five participants and allows users to host their own servers to keep all communication within their network. This design enhances collaborative coding experiences, making it suitable for scenarios such as pair programming, code reviews, and mentoring.

About

Microsoft Visual Studio is the industry-leading integrated development environment (IDE) for building modern applications across desktop, mobile, cloud, and web. It empowers developers to write, refactor, debug, test, and deploy software faster with intelligent assistance powered by GitHub Copilot and AI-driven workflows. With Agent Mode, developers can automate repetitive coding tasks, optimize performance, and receive contextual help directly in the IDE. The suite includes Visual Studio 2022, the comprehensive IDE for .NET and C++ development on Windows, and Visual Studio Code, the lightweight, cross-platform editor supporting JavaScript, Python, and dozens of other languages. Visual Studio integrates seamlessly with Azure, GitHub, and CI/CD pipelines, enabling teams to collaborate and ship code efficiently. Trusted by millions worldwide, Visual Studio provides the tools and intelligence developers need to build reliable, scalable, and secure applications from concept to release.
