They acutally demoed Go debugging in the Connect conference keynote today [1], together with the open-source announcement. It has been implemented as part of an extension written by someone inside of Microsoft, if I remember correctly (support for extensions was also announced).

The Go extension is also available as an open source project, at https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode-go https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode-go. We've integrated a number of tools built by the Go community, including the Delve debugger, and we are contributing to these projects. We plan on adding other languages as well, including Python - but if you're interested in building extensions for other languages, we'd like to hear from you.

  Awesome! Last time I tried VSC it had no gofmt-on-save functionality which I consider mandatory. Now that it does have that and much more, I'm very much looking forward to trying it again.

    It's being auto updated on a monthly cadence - not too different from Chrome. Some releases are big, some are small. I wouldn't write off a project that has a team that's set up to do that.

  I would be pretty very interested in Ruby support. One reason I think it would be especially valuable for Ruby is that a lot of introductory programming happens in Ruby and currently the defacto suggestion is sublime. As great as sublime is, installing packages can be challenging. Having debugger, linting, and auto complete support out of the box would be huge. I'm curious to hear how you're supporting these features. I personally don't know much about VC.

The Go debugging integration with Visual Studio Code is built on top of the Delve debugger, but exposed through the integrated debugging UX of VS Code. We're working with the Delve developers on a few things to help make this experience great - including Windows support (https://github.com/derekparker/delve/pull/276 https://github.com/derekparker/delve/pull/276).
