So I started my coding journey with Python about 2 years ago. I primarily used IDLE which was super bare bones but was perfect for my needs.

I’m now toying around with Javascript with eventual aspirations to learn C# and maybe something else (Golang maybe, C++ is intimidating). I completed codecademy.com’s course on Javascript, have been running through some algo training on codewars, been playing a little BitBurner, but now I want to actually try to develop my own stuff.

Looks like Visual Studio has an environment that supports Javascript, Python, and C# in one place. How is it? What are some of the positives and negatives of choosing to use Visual Studio moving forward?

    Microsoft has always been terrible at naming things, sometimes I think someone’s having a giggle. Just look at the Xbox line.

    • Xbox
    • Xbox 360
    • Xbox One
    • Xbox Series X
    • Xbox Series S

    And for Unity/Unreal Engine, Jetbrains Rider is a great IDE (though not free like VS Community).
