3 IDE and Language Plugins
In general… I will recommend VSCode. This is primarily due to Microsoft’s excellent Getting Started Guides:
- C++ with VSCode - https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/languages/cpp
- Java with VSCode - https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/languages/java
- Python with VSCode - https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/languages/python
- Rust with VSCode - https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/languages/rust
However, vim with a few selected plugins and a reasonable configuration file is my preference, https://github.com/cstkennedy/dot-files/blob/master/.vimrc.
