Great work on the integrated terminal. I'be been waiting for this. Might even fire up Windows 10 with Ubuntu shell and see how everything works together.

If you're curious, the integrated terminal is actually xterm.js behind the scenes: https://github.com/sourcelair/xterm.js

I find it amusing that the stack I'm using to write a systems application is javascript all the way down, from the editor window to the terminal it runs in.

(not bashing. just saying it's amusing. I freakin love VSC.)

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if someone like MS announces a new open source "JS to efficient native machine code" compiler one of these days.

I have been trying to use VSCode for languages besides JS, like C# and C++, but I've been getting stuck. There's a big opportunity here for someone to write up some brief tutorials on how to use VSCode for other languages. So far, the instructions are basically "Get VSCode. Enable the C++ extension. Enjoy!"

That's not enough, especially when it comes to setting up debugging, which c'mon, everyone needs. The json config file for C++ debugging has zero documentation. Until there is some more documentation besides the extensions readme, it's going to be a little challenging for new users to pick this up and have a delightful experience.

MS Chakra JS VM is already open source: https://github.com/Microsoft/ChakraCore

Like all high-performance JS VM's their JIT's already emit efficient machine code. If Google, Apple or MS could get JS running any faster they would've.

That link led me to this page: https://www.sourcelair.com/blueprints/sourcelair/xterm

I tried to sign in with Github, but the site requests full read/write access to my account details, my private/public keys and all repositories. Wat.
