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?

    Just to be clear, /u/ivy is talking about Visual Studio Code, and it appears you are talking about Visual Studio. They are entirely different things.

    If you want to pay for your dev environment, then I can’t recommend anything other than JetBrains. If you want free, then VSCode is absolutely the way to go.
