It has basic support (read: syntax highlighting) for most of your popular languages.

Debugging support seems to be limited to ASP.NET and Typescript. It's a new code editor written in Typescript (MS's JavaScript wrapper) based on github's Atom editor that has the Visual Studio brand and (to some degree) UX.įrom what I can tell, it only properly supports a handful of high-level, non-compiled languages aimed at web dev: Javascript, nodejs, ASP.NET, C#, Typescript.

^(But seriously, give them the link to VSCode, ignoring the dark theme circlejerk, out of the box it’s seriously one of the best - if not the best - HTML editors available)Įveryone is going nuts on /r/linux and /r/programming about this, but having looked into it a bit, let me try to break this down: And once equipped with the VIM extension, there’s no doubt that it is the true successor to the original divine editor as it possesses all the power of the original while still allowing you to exit it without having to sacrifice your first born child (but that option is still available as it understands the old magic of :wq and :x and :wofjspleaseexit. How can anyone deny that VSCode isn’t the true path to righteousness when out of the box it is able to autocomplete better than any other without consuming one’s entire available RAM and CPU time like other heathen IDEs (like the antichrist eclipse with it’s light theme blinding you so it can wreak havok upon your machine). It’s worrisome that this thread is over an hour old and nobody has come to spread the good word of the one true editor, our lord and savior VSCode, the free and open source messiah that doesn’t try blinding you when you first greet it like other false prophets, but instead greets you with solid contrast and power saving dark colors. I’m sorry, but is our job as developers to do the needful and spread the gospel of eradicating light themes, not spending time being productive and just writing code, but going overboard with editor configuration until you’ve completely forgotten about why you even installed a text editor.
