Microsoft has released a protocol that allows developers to easily add new programming language support for coding tools, in partnership with developer workspaces provider Codenvy and enterprise Linux distributor Red Hat.
Whereas traditional coding tools tend to support a single programming language, the Microsoft-led protocol aims to make sure the tools can handle whichever language developers work in.
The language server protocol lets developers code in different languages without having to switch editors or development environments.
Microsoft engineer Erich Gamma said the protocol came into existence after the company intergrated OmniSharp for C# and TypeScript servvers for its Visual Studio Code integrated development environment (IDE).

Ping! (and hope you’re feeling better, mate).
DOS isn’t done until Lotus won’t run.
‘Ay, Nully! I still have a copy of Lotus123 on a CD here somewhere, LOL!
I loved Lotus 123. Still have some old, old spreadsheets from the 1980’s saved on a floppy. Also have the old Symphony software. At least I could understand what was going on in the background back then.
Guess what? IT STILL WORKS!!!
I just ran a dos-shell on another computer running Linux, and Lotus123 had absolutely no problems running.
Although I doubt it could access any memory beyond, what was the limit then with EMM (I think it was called...) 386kb? Max?
I think I still have one of those 8-bit ISA Memory Expansion Module cards in storage somewhere...
They never heard of Eclipse?
I used Lotus long past point where no one else I knew still used it.
Since 1994, I’ve been using Linux. At first as supplement, now I almost never use a windows machine.
Far less frustration is the result.
Guess what? IT STILL WORKS!!!”
That is toooo funny. First computer I ever used was a Commodore. We used it at the grain elevators to track all the grain in house including pak factor, grade in each bin, etc. Had to enter formulas to determine average moisture, test weight, foreign material of every load that went into a bin. Older guys did it all on paper and a slow, slow calculator but my boss was younger so used something more “modern”. Used its limited memory to the max.
Remember when they put IBM into the office, storage took up a huge room, maintaining constant temp was always a problem, data entered by key punch clerks. People in office all had “dumb” terminals. Memories of the early days.
I suspect the Chinese still use our Lotus 1-2-3 spreadsheets, thanks to the Clintons. /s
perhaps my comment may be off the mark here but WIN 10 SUCKS
‘vi’ has allowed me to ‘program in multiple languages’ for years, and it doesn’t require a backend server on another box to do it.
+1.
+1.
I still have it on one of my old laptops. Finally quit using it when no one else in the company except the Comptroller still used it.
I’m not a coding guy, but did database publishing for many years. Lived in a spreadsheet and editor.
My favorite multi language editor is Notepad ++ (open source)
Incredible transposition plug-ins and multi programming language syntax formats.
It is one of the things that I still miss since I switched totally to Linux a number of years ago. There are several Linux based editors (like VI) that have similar functions.
Does the Red Hat say "Make America Great Again" on it?
;^)
‘vi’
‘copy con’
We don’ need no stinkin’ GUI!
Red Hat? Is that still ‘a thing’?
