Remote Development with VS Code
- panpanna 8y agoWait, are extensions still running locally?
- oaiey 8y agoPart of them
- panpanna 8y agoHow does this handle things like syntax differences across different versions? For "unstable" languages like Rust and c++ for example?
- ulucs 8y agoI think that can be gracefully solved by the language server. The client is local, the server is remote and each remote has the server corresponding to the correct version.
- sgtoj 8y ago"ui" extensions run locally while "workspace" extensions are remote.
- oaiey 8y agoAre they finally cloning Eclipse Che? Looks like. Their architecture is explained in the FAQ: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/remote/faq https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/remote/faq
- ulucs 8y agoI think native WSL support will be a differentiator, I'm seriously excited for it.
- oaiey 8y agoInteresting is the licensing. The VS Code Server inside of the container is not MIT licensed. They claim to stay free of charge but want to add premium features later (whatever that is).
- ksec 8y agoSo for beginners, you will still need a Remote Machine or Container for your development? This could potentially fix the problem with Ruby Rails on Windows. But we now need to figure out the remote "part".
- elephantum 8y agoI don't understand, why isn't there more excitement about this. This is huge in my opinion. Now you can get any environment in container on your local machine, with working Intellisense and all the IDE integrations.
- shaklee3 8y agoI agree. I submitted the story because it's a huge feature that's going to make me much more productive. There are many hacks for vs code already to do something similar, but this is truly unique. What's odd, is I've seen other topics related to vscode for small features that have gotten a lot more feedback.
