I use vscode for my personal projects (c++ and a fully open source stack, compiling for both Linux and Windows).

I'm using the proprietary version of vscode (via the aur) for the plugin repository, but I've always envied the open source version...

Are there any tools that have made you excited?

Bonus points if they have some support for compiling with MSVC (or if you can convince me to ditch it for something else).

I use Code OSS with clangd and the nvim extension (because Microsoft disabled their c/c++ tools) because i want access to the nrfconnect extension pack as a beginner. I don't have to go searching in the documentation and compiling, then recompiling 10 times to self-discover the required devicetree parameters and figure out what drivers are available vs mainline zephyr.

Plus the debug interface works well.

For everything else possible it is vim/neovim, but I haven't been able to find good neovim setup for nrfconnect.

Any reason for Code - OSS over VS Codium?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Nope, I don't know the difference really. I think my arch distrobox had code oss marketplace extension as a package (to get nrfconnect auto updating) so maybe that's the reason?

I don't know! I've seen two people in this thread specifically mention Code - OSS and I've literally never seen anyone else use it so it was intriguing. Whenever I see folks using something other than VS Code I am happy. Fuck fauxpen source. (VS Codium is actually open source.)
