If you’re looking for a fast and lightweight open-source code editor that runs on Linux, macOS, or Windows, Visual Studio Code has you covered. Come for a deep dive of new Visual Studio Code features which provide a rich, productive environment for C++ development across platforms. Features such as remote development with containers, the Windows Subsystem for Linux, and SSH, configuration improvements, build/debug features, IntelliSense enhancements, and using vcpkg to integrate 3rd party libraries will be presented live so you can see how they can aid in your day-to-day editing, building, and debugging. We will also share our open-source approach to developing the C/C++ extension.

Vscode is so great to have, for any language. But please, NATIVE ARM SUPPORT PLZ!

[antonlogunov]

Does this support the most common functionality of CLion? What are the flaws compared to CLion?

[MichaelHazell]

Why a new custom theme for semantic coloring? I thought this is something that can be done using a language server. I use One Dark Pro (Atom dark) and don't want to switch from that.

I hope once everyone is hooked onto VS Code, they don't make it paid only
I know it exists on Github, but they can fork and develop only the private, paid version later
