Programmers can also add languages, debuggers, and other tools via VS extensions. Since it is unfeasible for a code editor to provide a solution for every possible issue, VS code supports extensions.Įxtensions are third-party features that programmers can add to enhance the codes’ quality, functionality, and appearance. One of the key reasons why VS code stands out is because of its versatility and up-to-date functionalities. With the editor neatly organized into discrete sections, programmers find it convenient to write comprehensible codes and debug errors. In addition to the above, their user-friendly interface is an added bonus. It allows you to add essential extensions to the editor, such as debuggers cloud and web development tools.

A wide array of programming languages such as C++, Java, Python and many more.Since this platform is packed with robust and up-to-date features, its lightweight cannot be considered a flaw. VS Code can be installed easily and will not use too much space. Why such popularity around Visual Studio Code? Being one of Microsoft’s renowned software, VS code is free to use, open-source, and compatible with Windows, Linux, and macOS. For example: “pylint.Visual Studio Code is one of the popular text editors used by professionals and recommended to new coders. It also provides additional ways to configure the severity levels of the issues reported via pylint. This new extension uses the Language Server Protocol to provide linting support, and it ships with the latest version of pylint.

The first one we started to work on is Pylint. Our team is working towards breaking the tools support we offer in the Python extension into separate extensions, with the intent of improving performance, stability and no longer requiring the tools to be installed in a Python environment – as they can be shipped alongside an extension. If you are interested, you can check the full list of improvements in our changelogs for the Python, Jupyter and Pylance extensions.

In this release we’re introducing the following changes: The April 2022 release of the Python Extension for Visual Studio Code is now available.
