Another major milestone for the native Chromium/Node/Electron stack: VS Code now launches and renders its full interface directly on the AROS Workbench.

Is that in an AROS window or running in the Chromium Browser?

That's awesome!

It’s a native electron app. It is not just VS Code Web.

That's great! But I will have something better ;D

If VS Code is working on AROS which version of AROS? When will it be available? I use VS Code Editor on a regular basis. It would be very useful when I'm compiling small apps in the shell for testing them.

What is Electron? How does it work with VS Code Editor? What is Claude and how does it work with Electron?

The Text Editor is very lacking when it comes to source code. Maybe I'm just old but there's no syntax highlight so I can't see the code well.

Along with my upcoming GitHub Desktop port.

Currently it’s ABIv1

What VS Code is, is merely a demo of what electron brings.

It was merely creating the platform glue and then building.
