The "run the whole dev environment in the cloud" part actually sounds pretty nice. 10 seconds to have everything running?? And I assume you can switch between multiple environments you have saved, tied to branches? That's pretty sweet and opens up tons of opportunity for server side build caching to speed things up (don't need to compile the packages you aren't modifying).
Is VS Code actually required, or is there some way you can edit source code locally then push to codespaces to actually run it?
- gscho 4y agoEmacs and vim are supported!
- thebean11 4y agoWhat about JetBrains IDEs though? What if I want to run some one-off script on my local terminal that's interacting with source code files? Emacs and vim plugins don't go far enough IMO, it needs to fully support the local filesystem.
