It's more than as @Dave has said: MS now offers DotNet Core which is open source and available across all major platforms, and I suppose VS Code fits under that initiative. This looks to be a complete re-write of the mono-project to make it more compatible and better performance wise, as well as being more generally compatible with full DotNet. So more than just having project-mono as a side project, it is now fully integrated into full Visual Studio, etc. MS has been moving this way for quite some time, with F# having been an open source project for quite some time. Running "Linux within Windows" is a bit of an exaggeration, but yes, one can opt in to running a bash shell inside windows under a version of UBuntu. As I said, VS Code works pretty well with the Elm plug-in, and there are lots of other third party plug-ins for markdown, HTML, etc. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Elm Discuss" group.
