Mono relicensed under MIT - C# for UE4 can come back?

Nope, take this scenario: If you write code fast in c# when you hit “.” intelisense immediately shows suggestions and most of the times it will high lite the needed function or property and immediately after that I hit tab an completes the code. If you try this on c++ you’re out of luck… I use Visual Studio Community edition with no plugins (excluding unreal engine plugins). I tried to set up intelisense like Epic suggests but still after you hit “.” or write “->” the suggestions list will appear after several seconds later sometimes after I write myself the whole name of the property or function… If I only succeed to make this to work I will write code in c++ like there is no tomorrow
@ambershee I’m not arguing that my free tools are inadequate, just pointing out that for other languages it can be done without paying $$$ for a tool that should be already integrated in the package. But I’ve tried the trial version of Visual Assist X and yes is faster then VS intelisense but still it doesn’t show the suggestion list immediately so that’s why is a no go for me… Why buy something if I still have to write the whole word by myself or wait 2 3 seconds to show the list and then select the needed function/property.

Ah yeah that’s true, you do pretty much need Visual Assist X for that whereas Visual Studio does a better job out of the box for C#. Still most C# devs use Resharper, or so I thought. Where I worked everyone used it for all its added value compared to vanilla-VS. And other extensions too.

You do have to accept the fact that UE4 is a huge code-base though. Even if C# was supported it doesn’t mean that you would get quite the instantaneous intellisense speed that you’re used to from coding smaller applications.
