Visualstudio is toxic for anything
other than Windows. IMO, Visual Studio for & with VB6 was the
last decent RAD on Windows, the C# is the next best thing, but I'd
not bother with it on "mono", nor indeed on Windows.
I use KATE on Linux, it's a little like
Notepad++, which I did set up for JAL syntax. Except KATE is
better.
I've used Sunish's Jal Edit on Windows,
but due to Win10 I'm now entirely Linux based.

Hi all,
This message was posted on Jallist and Jallib.
I have the following suggestion and am looking for somebody who wants to
pick up the challenge.
Nowadays we have 2 JAL Editors/Integrated Development Environments, JalEdit
and JALIDE from the hard work of Sunish and Despx.
The 'problem' is that these are Windows based and we also have Linux and
MAC users. Next to that time has passed and so there are new options we can
explore.
It was suggested some time ago to use Notepad++. I did some tests with
syntax highlighting and starting the compiler from Notepad++ and that
partly works but it not the solution. It remains a text editor.
So here my suggestion:
We should create a JAL IDE using Visual Studio Code. It is free, multi
platform (Windows, Linux. Mac) and offers a lot of features like:
-) A very nice editor made for writing programs
-) Syntax highlighting
-) Snippits (not sure if we need them)
-) Intellisense (autocomplete)
-) Scripts (I assume we can start the compiler using these)
You can make your own JAL extension to make it exactly matching the JAL
programming language. Once you have this you can make the extension public
and share it with the rest of the world via the extensions market place.
And if you want you can install all kind of extensions yourself, e.g. code
beautifiers that nicely indent your code.
