What does .NET (and Visual Studio for that matter) have to do with Visual Studio Code? The latter is an IDE based on web technologies that shares naming with Visual Studio proper in the same way Java shares a name with JavaScript. > I've never seen the point of it Well if we're talking .NET, it's OSS now and runs on Mac/Linux/Docker. It's legitimately a great platform for writing backend services. C# is a java-like that has a lot of really nice benefits over java (in a similar vein to Kotlin). C# also pioneered the async/await syntax you see everywhere now, and as such has first class async and streaming support which is a real boon for workloads. > Notepad++ A man of culture I see!
