This talk will give an overview of the Julia extension for VS Code. The extension currently provides syntax highlighting, an integrated REPL, code completion, hover help, an integrated linter, code navigation, integration with the Julia testing infrastructure and integrated support for Weave documents (Julia’s knitr equivalent). A 30-minute version of this talk would talk about the internals of the extension. We would describe the Julia language server (our implementation of the Microsoft Language Server Protocol) that provides the integration with the VS Code UI. Other topics we would cover are our approach to build a robust and reliable software delivery mechanism that does not depend on the shared Julia package directory, our custom parser that is used in the language server and the developments currently being made to provide actionable parse-time formatting and linting hints, as well as any other features we might add between now and JuliaCon.
