The last few days I have been piddling around with the VS Code editor. Why another editor?
I decided to give VS Code a try because it is recommended for many of the systems I use, Python, Lean, Git, TeX Live, .... It’s also cross OS, it runs on Windows, MAC, Linux. Making it easier to flip from one to another. Upon installing VS Code I was pleased to see J is supported by tikkanz (Ric Sherlock)’s extension that provides syntax coloring and opens jconsole.exe when working with .ijs files. jconsole running as a J terminal under VS Code is a very effective J working setup. It’s better than cmd or bash and gives JHS and JQT some serious competition. It’s particularly useful for JOD which is a pure bare bones console oriented tool. I see lots of J users have already downloaded the J extension but if you haven’t tried this setup yet it’s worth a peek.
