Re: Visual Studio Code for Go
#2I'm going to add the customary "I love this new MS" line here. About 10 years ago a friend of mine offered to make an introduction with her cousin, who was an exec at MS, to see about a job when I got out of college. I said "no way, they're working on such boring and dull stuff there"
But after having worked in C# for a few years now (loving the language) and seeing all the open source moves they're making, it seems like a really exciting place to work these days.
And I'm sure there's a ton of renewed energy there.

#4What's the difference between lukehoban's Go extension?
it looks like it is his extension, he's committing to this repo if you look at the log. looks like it just moved to the Microsoft org (if it wasn't there already).

This is the same thing since he works for Microsoft.

#6What's the difference between lukehoban's Go extension?
It seems as if this is his Go extension, based on the VS Marketplace link and commit history. Microsoft probably just took over ownership to make it "official"

#8I like VS Code a lot. It is cross platform and not too heavy. It has a lot of the modern features and look/feel. Don't have to load 50 million plugins to get something reasonable working. I've pretty much stopped using vim/emacs/notepad++ and numerous other editors though occasionally I use vim because I'm on a ssh connection. To me it seems the right balance between complexity and simplicity.

Looks like it's an old naming convention of theirs:

At least as far back as Visual Studio 2005.

#10I've never programmed in Go before. Coming from a C# background. Can someone tell me, how does Go feel? Is is pleasant to work in, or is it tricky like C.
