The new development environment is based on the Eclipse Theia framework, an open-source project based on the same architecture as VS Code. The front end is written in TypeScript, and most of the back end is written in Golang.

The new IDE offers a more modern and user-friendly interface, faster compilation times, code suggestion features, and many other new features.

The IDE now provides automatic update prompts when new versions are available, making it very convenient as you no longer need to visit the download page; you can simply update when prompted.

The Arduino IDE 2.0 works slightly differently. It does not open an external window for the serial monitor but displays the console log in an additional tab. To understand how it works, let’s look at how the old editor functioned:

Now, let’s take a look at IDE 2.0. Notice how the serial monitor is located at the bottom of the editor:

Very convenient and simple code debugging

The serial plotter tool is great for visualizing data graphically and monitoring things like voltage peaks.
