2021 New LISP Editor

(1/3) > >>

w64bit:
AutoCAD 2021 is bringing new LISP editor: VS Code and the AutoCAD AutoLISP Extension.
The Visual LISP (VL) IDE has been retired and will be removed in a future release.

Do you think that this replacement is a good thing for LISP editing?
VS Code for AutoCAD it's better than BLADE (the equivalent for Bricscad)?
Thank you

JohnK:
VS Code will be better but AutoLisp developers will need to learn to adopt new practices such as the use of version control, and debuggers.

I wrote down some of my initial thoughts/concepts on the use of VS Code here:

MickD:
I think it's pretty hard to get a better IDE than a purpose built one embedded into the host application but VLIDE is showing its age. BLADE will be pretty hard to beat for BricsCAD though.

I like working with VS Code (I spend 90% of my time there) and for AutoCAD at least it will become the better alternative as long as the plugin maintainers keep improving it.
It also comes down to workflow I guess.

It's Alive!:
I’m still using LispLink lol, I wish BLADE had a dark theme..  VS Code looks really nice, I think I’ll give it a whirl since its easier on the eyes

kdub_nz:
I was told a few years ago that the guys at AutoDesk didn't know enough about the IDE or Vital Lisp to make changes to it.
Looks like they took the easy way out.

I'm pleased I'm done with them.
