What is it, though? "Build and debug modern web and cloud applications." Is it like Atom (built on top of a browser)?
Very similar to Atom. Based on the same framework I think. You really can't tell it is running on a browser. It is more tuned for javascript and other web technologies but with the right plugin, it works fine for Go, Python, C, etc.
I'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…
Well, I don't know about that. They still try and lock you in to their tooling at every turn. I believe that the driving force behind this cool new Microsoft is Azure. They want you to run on their cloud and they'll follow you to OS X and Linux in order to get you there. Make no mistake, Microsoft is the best there is at finding out how to charge you.
We're a 100% Go shop and everyone on my team but me uses Visual Studio Code for Go. It's really amazing. (My mind has just been so corrupted by years of vim usage I'm trapped.) It's bizarre to think my team writes in a language created by Google in an editor created by Microsoft on System76 laptops running Ubuntu. Never would have been possible in the Gates or Ballmer eras.
Not related to Go plugin, but in VsCode I hate the tabs in the left panel, feels very different and I could not even adjust it after 6 months. However, the Go plugin is really nice and works perfectly, even, the debugger works /most of the time/ . It is fast and handy. Recommended.

Hi. I know C# in amateur fashion and Go professionally. I think a lot of people here will give you a very positive review of Go. Since they've got that covered, let me tell you what you're giving up from C# or F# and why I won't use Go. Maybe you can form a balanced conclusion from the aggregates, because I find Go to be very polarizing. Concurrency Async: Go uses channels for all concurrency. Period. This mechanism,…
> Go uses channels for all concurrency. Go uses goroutines for concurrency, not channels. Goroutines are like threads, but they are managed by the Go runtime instead of the OS, and they use less system resources (a new goroutine uses just a few kilobytes, and its stack is resized on demand if necessary). Go uses channels as a synchronisation mechanism. But other synchronisation mechanisms can be used (i.e. mutexes or…
It's also potentially faster and more efficient than goroutines, because it packs the state to be shared on context switches into what is typically a very tight structure instead of saving the entire stack.
> I think that error handling is still a subject of tension in every language and the problem is not fully solved (even in Rust, Haskell or Erlang). Time will tell.
Can you elaborate as to what the problems you see with error handling in those languages are?
Wait, does the debugger work now? The last time I picked up Visual Studio code with a C# core project I couldn't' get the debugger to work with dnx web
The debugger for C# works on Windows only (for now, since the Linux/OSX debuggers will need to use gdb or lldb). Debuggers for other languages are supported by extensions. For instance, there's a javascript and Typescript debugger built in.
I like VsCode especially for js css and html5 stuff. The problem I have with it is that it starts to lag when my codebase gets larger eg above 600 lines. Thats the reason why I switch to Atom. I think Atom is the best free text editor.

Which System76 laptops? I'm in the market for a Linux-native laptop which'll compile faster than my MBP.
