Is Microsoft un-open-sourcing or un-free-softwaring existing code?
- bzxcvbn 4y agoNope. They're focusing their effort on merging the code bases needed to support VS and VSCode's C#.
- tempodox 4y agoNo, they will offer a closed-source sibling product.
- exyi 4y agoAnd most likely deprecate support for the open Language server, as they did with Pylance/Jedi...
- WalterGR 4y agoWhat do you mean by "deprecate support"? Do you mean stop developing a project that's open source / free software?
- exyi 4y agoThey did remove support for Jedi language server in their Python extension. Sure, you can fork it, but nobody will actually use it, since their extension is also free and also looks open. And I didn't find any extension which does that :/
- dragonwriter 4y ago> They did remove support for Jedi language server in their Python extension. No, they just switched the default to Pylance. Jedi is still a supported option.
- Ygg2 4y agoNot yet. Remember, lobotomized frogs prefer slow cooking. Anyway. MSFT is adding closed source version of Omnislash in parallel to the open source one, and offering a choice which to pick. Give it a few years. They will sunset the OSS, because of lack of interest. Maybe they will even slap on a price.
