So I started my coding journey with Python about 2 years ago. I primarily used IDLE which was super bare bones but was perfect for my needs.

I’m now toying around with Javascript with eventual aspirations to learn C# and maybe something else (Golang maybe, C++ is intimidating). I completed codecademy.com’s course on Javascript, have been running through some algo training on codewars, been playing a little BitBurner, but now I want to actually try to develop my own stuff.

Looks like Visual Studio has an environment that supports Javascript, Python, and C# in one place. How is it? What are some of the positives and negatives of choosing to use Visual Studio moving forward?

    Thanks Ivy.

    Would you recommend a different environment to code in? Or would Visual Studio be plenty fine with the extensions?

      8 years ago when I did javascript/typescript I preferred VS Code. VS Code also has extentions for python and C#. C# extention is not fantastic, but should be fine for a small training project. VS Code also works OK for Rust.
