I'm with you. I'd love for us to get there, but the predictions are highly highly optimistic imho. 15+ years for limited scenarios at best.

We've been asked this by a few people, so I figured this is a good place to respond: Will PTVS (Python Tools for Visual Studio) come to VSCode? The answer is YES! This will be a major focus next year. Expect full intellisense, debugg

Wendy Carlos released a 2nd version of her Bach Brandenberg Concertos that were done using period tuning on synthesizers including modulations. perhaps you can compare the two.

If you want to get a feel for what PTVS is like, you can watch these short videos: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLReL099Y5nRdLgGAdrb_Y... 10k foot view web page: https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us&#

hi smortaz, project lead for PTVS. i'd love to get a pointer to the script (or repro). this should definitely not be the case! sorry about your experience.

thanks for doing this. much easier to digest.

hmm... i'm confused... 8vb is for lowering an octave. the proposal here is to make both clefs have EGBDFA. ie, the clefs are off by a third - this slides by a 3rd to make them have the same arrangement. ah, actually i think i got wh

agreed, especially for experienced musicians. the point here is that if the notehead carries its sharp/flatness in the shape, just like a notehead carries its duration (quarter vs half), it'll become 2nd nature. if a piece is in

very nice! my 2c for improving notation are more evolutionary. i see two main issues with sight reading: 1. treble/bass clefs are not consistent: one is EGBDF, the other GBDFA. eg instead of the third line always being a B, it&#x2

hi there - it took a while to make our 1st hire, but i'm happy to report that work is underway as part of the Azure ML group. as soon the project has a pulse i'll post on HN. current plan is to have it be free & open source

by smortaz 11y ago
it does. in fact, that is the default recommendation, ie PTVS installed into Community Edition: https://github.com/Microsoft/PTVS/wiki/PTVS-Installation

Hi. Both! Though focus for next release++ is data science. Think Python+R in Visual Studio and "Visual Studio Code" (the newly released cross-plat lightweight IDE), w features that are relevant to data scientists and technical com

great! how about C/C++, eg mixed mode debugging from R <-> C the way PTVS does?
231.
by smortaz 12y ago
R-Studio is a wonderful IDE - kudos to their team. also, if we do this, it'll be free+oss like PTVS. VS itself isnt oss, but at least the pro/community edition is free now.
232.
by smortaz 12y ago
actually that was a fork of PTVS :). we'll look at adding more advanced editing, intellisense, visualization, debugging (cross-lang, cross-OS, ...), etc.

by smortaz 12y ago
yes - i'd love to see native Python & R support in excel as well. they are aware that better scripting support is needed - they just need to hear it from more ppl to make it a priority. i'll point them at this thread meanwhil

thx dxbydt. VS itself isnt xplat of course, but who knows where things will end up now that Azure is a big focus. note that VS does provide more & more linux support (eg PTVS does remote debug). also chances are you wont have to sprin

bookmarked. very intuitive & easy to use. looking fwd to updates. some movies are available for free on YT. perhaps they could be linked to. also whether streamable on netflix/amazon/... would be nice too.
