RE: IBM Rational Developer for i, V9.5.1 delivers new support for Apple Mac platform and other significant enhancements

Where do I download RDI 9.5.1 from?
I'm on the PassportAdvantage site now, I'm only seeing 9.5.0 base, which I already have.

Actually, doing an RPG syntax checker in Orion would mean using ESLint, which is a supported plugin in VSCode**; so there could be a shared resource.

**VSCode is developed with Electron/Node.js

I am on a Node.js project where the company put together their own ESLint file to convey their coding guidelines in the VSCode editor. It's fantastic because it tells me not only when I have incorrect language syntax but also when I haven't followed the shop coding standards (i.e. if I declare a Javascript function using an old fashion approach it will put a squiggly red line under the code).

Imagine having this for RPG so all programmers are told, in real-time, whether they're following shop coding standards. Very cool.

Concerning Orion, for me I am in "wait and see" mode. There's a handful of "issues" with Orion that make it cumbersome (i.e. everything runs under Apache profile QTMHHTTP instead of your own IBM i profile). And there's one usability issue I have with how it does tabs for different source members (one each, and it uses the browser's tabs vs. having tabs created via HTML within a single browser tab).

to request that IBM port the syntax checker for RPG to Orion?

​Opinion: It would be great if somebody developed an
Electron/Node.js app for editing source on IBM i (both IFS and
*SRCPF). This would/could give the offline editing capabilities,
yet have the code base shared with a

web

front-end. This is similar to what VSCode has, though I don't know
if their long-term direction is a web-based editor.
