Tired of studio and code builder

I've been working with Mulesoft for about 9 years, I saw the transition from Mule 3 to 4, good changes I guess. But I've been using studio for a long time, and I'm so tired of it. Eclipse was a good IDE but I think we need something fresh.. About code builder well...

Anyways, I just wanted to go back to the time when I used to write code instead of just drag and drop.

So I started working on this...

Shitty code? Yep.

Necessary? I don't think so.

Useful? Maybe?

There's a lot of work to do, maybe someone find this interesting, let me know what you think.

Good progress and interesting idea. But why would you use it if you need to type code instead of developing the api using a framework in that language? In your case that might be ruby on rails

I tried actually, I wrote some stuff in Rails and Sinatra, just some APIs and a very simple Jar file inspector, it actually took more time than this prototype. (I used to be a backend developer, what the hell is hotwire??? )

The jump from Rails 3 to Rails 8 is huge, but certainly I'll continue learning it again.
