among the listed Pre-Requisites was "Visual Studio Community 2015 <https://www.visualstudio.com/vs-2015-product-editions>" as the "Recommended IDE" ... and while there has been some work on Julia Language support in the Visual Studio Marketplace:
https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items/be5invis.julia however, this work is in the Visual Studio Code space and according to Microsoft: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/extension-gallery it is not possible to "install Visual Studio Community extensions (shipped in .vsix) in Visual Studio Code" and vice versa, as "Visual Studio Code's extensibility points are different than Visual Studio Community. The two use different extension Galleries and the Visual Studio Community extension installer will not recognize Visual Studio Code." certainly, Microsoft's activity of late in the OSS space is encouraging and some work on a Julia Language extension for Visual Studio Community could result in a greatly expanded user base for Julia. interesting indeed ...
