yeah, i copied the xkcd wrong 🤦‍♂️ thanks, i’ll edit it

int getRandomNumber() {
 return 4; // chosen by a random number roll. guaranteed to be random.
}

I agree, neither do i. I was talking about base vscode, but i don’t think it even matters anymore. There’s really no proper answer. Some people use it like a notepad, some people use it like a fully fledged IDE. I’m just tired of arguing over this, and i admit i had a bad take.

I didn’t mean it in a bad way. I prefer how vscode does it. and i think you’re right.

I agree. I was mainly thinking of neovim, but i guess vim works in this example, too.

I was talking about the base editor itself, though. In the end it doesn’t even matter what we consider VSCode to be, i feel this thread has just devolved into arguing about semantics and bikeshedding, and there’s no correct solution.

I think i’ll just be deleting my main comment, admit I had a bad take and move on. i’m tired of arguing about this.

Not really. there’s VSCode itself, and then there’s the extensions on top of it. But my main point was how vscode wasn’t designed to be an IDE, just a customizable code editor. Like neovim or emacs, you could customize it to the point of being similar to an IDE, but they’re still not considered IDEs.

I don’t think it really matters, but the implication you can write a whole IDE in electron is just insane.

It is pretty pedantic, i agree. I don’t want to start an argument about something as pointless as this, though.

They also list vim and notepad++ as IDEs, pretty sure they just meant code editors in general.

IDEs come bundled with tooling, such as debuggers, intelligent code completion, and OOTB language support, and language servers.

vscode out of the box doesn’t have any of these, you install them with plugins. jetbrains products, for example would be IDEs, but editors like vscode and neovim aren’t. Those are code editors.

vscode isn’t an IDE, but an actual IDE written in electron would be horrible.

I .clone()'d one too many times 😞

#include <vector>
#include <algorithm>

int main() {
    int a;
    std::vector<std::vector<int>> v;
    std::vector<std::vector<int>>::const_iterator it = std::find(v.begin(), v.end(), a);
}

assaults you with 42 errors, C++ templates are a joy 😊
