Is anyone else terrified that Microsoft is slowly taking over the entire development stack? I love the new Microsoft, but I'm generally worried about what tomorrow's Microsoft could look like.
I have a particularly hard time forgetting "Linux is a cancer."
- solarkraft 4y agoThe new new Microsoft is the old Microsoft. They're already attempting to extinguish open source VSCode (much more "open core" nowadays). However most of the cool projects based on "VScode"are actually based on its open core which Microsoft won't be able to take it away.
- smegsicle 4y agowhat was that thing where they invited open source dotnet projects to join a curation club on github, and proceeded to take over those projects?
- pjmlp 4y agoOriginally there wasn't even source code to look into at all, VSCode started as an Web IDE for Azure.
- nisegami 4y agoI thought VSCode was a fork of Atom. Did I just make that up?
- colejohnson66 4y agoYou did ;) Its design was clearly inspired by Atom, but it was written from the ground up
- pjmlp 4y agoYes, it used to be called Monaco initially. https://microsoft.github.io/monaco-editor/ https://microsoft.github.io/monaco-editor/ Also Erich Gamma from Eclipse fame, and GOF book, is the main architect. "VS Code an Overnight Success… 10 years in the making" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hilznKQij7A https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hilznKQij7A VSCode remote editing on Github is it returning back to its roots.
