As part of Microsoft’s focused approach to bring in more value to Cross platform & Open Source based initiatives Microsoft has released Visual Studio Code IDE along with .NET Core runtime for Mac, Linux and Windows.
Visual Studio Code, a new, free, cross-platform code editor for building modern web and cloud applications on Mac OS X, Linux and Windows. Visual Studio Code is built primarily with standard web technology (HTML, CSS, JavaScript). Visual Studio Code offers developers built-in support for multiple languages (such as CoffeeScript, Python, Ruby, Jade, Clojure, Java, Javascript, JSON, C++, R, Go, makefiles, shell scripts, PowerShell, bat, xml), the editor will feature rich code assistance and navigation for all of these languages. JavaScript, TypeScript, Node.js and ASP.NET 5 developers will also get a set of additional tools.
Quoting from Visual Studio code site:
Visual Studio Code provides developers with a new choice of developer tool that combines the simplicity and streamlined experience of a code editor with the best of what developers need for their core code-edit-debug cycle. Visual Studio Code is the first code editor, and first cross-platform development tool – supporting OSX, Linux, and Windows – in the Visual Studio family.
