Visual Studio Code was initially made for developers who created web apps in JavaScript and TypeScript. However, over a short period of six months, the VS community has made more than 1000 extensions that enabled the support forNode.js, Go, C++, PHP, Python and more. This was made possible as Microsoft opened the APIs to allow developers write extensions for the editor.
Now, Microsoft’s open source Visual Studio Code is available in 9 additional languages including Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Russian and Spanish.
In the announcement blog post, Microsoft said that since its initial launch about one year ago, 2 million developers have installed VS Code. Out of those, more than 500,000 developers actively use VS code each month.
As we’ve noted before, Visual Studio isn’t the ground-up miracle Microsoft makes it appear to be. Much of the underlying code is based on Github’s Atom, an open source editor. Still, it’s all a big step in the right direction, especially if you liked all the new features Microsoft announced at Build 2016.
