Re: Visual Studio Code is now open source
#232I actually visited the VS Code team at Microsoft a few weeks ago for a product-research day where they brought in developers from small teams from around the US. I had heard that this was the plan, and I'm excited to see that it has since happened. They showed some compelling features (still not-yet released) that I think would bring this well-beyond a simple Atom competitor. Once they bring the debugging and linting…
Micah! I sat next to you on the bus that morning on the way to campus. I knew after we left that day that Microsoft was on the right track, but with all the announcements today they've really shown that they're committed to cross platform tools.
Thats right!
Yea, it seems that MSFT realizes the direction the industry is going and is catering to that.

#233Shameless self-plug: we also released (and open-sourced) a significantly more powerful PowerShell plugin for VS Code today[1][2] as well as a set of .NET and JSON APIs, the PowerShell Editor Services[3], that sits behind it. We welcome contributions and feedback, and feel free to hit up the developer David Wilson, @daviwil, or me, @joeyaiello. [1] http://blogs.msdn.com/b/powershell/archive/2015/11/17/announ... [2] ht…
Nice self-plug I like POSH scripts for various things and I like VSCode so I will look at it!

I'm actually a pretty hard core Linux user who avoids M'soft products when possible, but it's hard to deny I good IDE when I see one. I've never been able to navigate emacs/vim with ease, and sans them, I've never heard of a highly touted, Linux-friendly IDE.
I'm struggling to understand how you are a hard core Linux user yet you've never heard of a good Linux IDE. KDevelop? Eclipse? Netbeans? KomodoIDE? Anything from JetBrains? And I don't even know what might be available on the Gnome side. Then there are all the great editors that sit right on the verge of being IDEs once you configure - Kate, KomodoEdit, Sublime Text and so many more. Personally the look at VS Code ma…
Of all those, jetbrains is the only company pushing the envelope in terms of productivity and tooling. It's a common meme that Visual Studio is an IDE wet dream. Is it really so hard to see?

I think reasonable people can probably agree that there is a difference in kind between CoffeeScript and TypeScript. CoffeeScript was functionally equivalent to JavaScript, whereas TypeScript has feature-level improvements that are worth a developer's time. Sure, TypeScript is pushed by Microsoft. It's also an excellent solution for large-scale systems, its adoption is nontrivial, and Microsoft has a history of suppo…
"was"? What happened to Coffeescript, is it dead now?
I don't mean to imply it's dead, but I think it's safe to say it's resting? I haven't heard of new development being done in it in a while, and its time in the spotlight certainly seems to be over.

#236We've been asked this by a few people, so I figured this is a good place to respond: Will PTVS (Python Tools for Visual Studio) come to VSCode? The answer is YES! This will be a major focus next year. Expect full intellisense, debugging, profiling, pkg mgmt, unit test, virtual env, multiple interpreter, Jupyter, etc. support.

For those who want better Python highlighting in VSCode, we've just published MagicPython: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items/magicstack.MagicP...
Re: Visual Studio Code is now open source
#237Has anyone spent a lot of time with VS Code? I tried it a while back when it was first announced and have not found a reason to re-visit it yet. At the time it felt like a sublime-text alternative instead of an IDE (was it always positioned to be just an editor?) Always great to see more options though.
I think that's exactly what it is trying to be: a simple editor with some capabilities.
A lot of people expect a "real IDE" to have a lot of fancy, specific, semi-proprietary features, but what I believe VSC is providing great editing capabilities and offloading everything else to good task managers (and now, extensions). A lot that you can do in "real IDEs" (like building your project) can be handled by Gulp, Grunt, or other runners in a more or less independent way. I actually prefer it this way now, regardless of the IDE I use - that allows my projects to be independent of the IDE.
To me, where VSC shines is really in editing comfort, be it with the super fast typing response (really!), or with the Git integration, or with how it handles work space for opened files. It looks like it is supposed to be uncomplicated.

#238I wasn't sure what to expect from VSC, especially going into it I was worried that it would just be a MS-branded, bloated version of an already-slow Atom. My expectations were completely wrong, though. VSC is not bloated or slow. It's well-made. There aren't really any negative MS-flavored conventions as far as I can tell. This isn't MS Office (which I guess has its place but has gone off the deep end, IMHO). It look…
Bloat and jankyness seems to be a function of project age. This is a relatively greenfield project, so it's pretty nice for now. MS Office is ancient as far as software projects go. The only things that are older at this point is UNIX, Oracle bank/govt mainframes.
>Bloat and jankyness seems to be a function of project age.
Atom, that he mentioned, as well as lots of other projects, were slow and bloated from the start.
Re: Visual Studio Code is now open source
#239No modal/vim mode? (The Googles indicate "no".) I want to love you, Visual Studio Code, but that's a deal-breaker. Looks like the plug-in system is up, so maybe it'll come down the road. Though it's probably my color-blind eyes, but I couldn't find a stock dark theme that worked for me (first time I've had that out-of-the-box problem). So between not being able to read the text on the screen that well, and an input m…
Hopefully neovim will allow native integration of vim down the line. Vim + plugins is just too good to migrate away from.

I've been thinking for a while that what Go needs to become more widely used is an IDE with debugger. I'm numb (with a grin on my face) that it's coming from Microsoft. I've read they're beta testing Go on Azure. Another good thing for sure.
How does this compare to https://github.com/go-lang-plugin-org/go-lang-idea-plugin ?
I didn't know this existed so I can't answer you question. I've been using Sublime and print statements for a few years now. I actually gave up looking an IDE with integrated debugger.
