When did vs code announce they would stop supporting Mac?
They are mistaken. Visual Studio for Mac is being retired next year, not vscode. Not the same program...
Good good good good. We just wrote a huge batch of quick start on boarding scripts to set up new devs with a good baseline vs code configuration
It's not. It's Visual Studio that will stop supporting Mac, not VSCode.
eli5, but isn't visual studio code a part of visual studio? or why is it not? or is this like a java/javascript thing where they are named similar because of popularity but have no codebase in common?
Those two are completely different products.
Visual Studio is a full IDE which include full microsoft SDK (C++, .net, etc), while VSCode is a text editor forked from Github's Atom text editor (which was the precursor of the Electron framework), with a javacript editor core called Monaco.
