Combine this with the new Raspberry Pi 400 and you have an all-in-one solution to learning to code, reminiscent of my ZX Spectrum of decades ago, but so much more powerful. They can now do both in the same application, reducing the cognitive load – they only have to learn one tool, one debugger, one setup. I see kids learning Python at school using one tool, then learning web development in an after-school coding club with a different tool. I can take my $35 computer, plug it into a keyboard and mouse, connect a monitor and a TV and code in a wide range of languages from the same place. There are already some great editors, but nothing of the calibre of VS Code. And yes - I am writing this right now on a Raspberry Pi 400 running VS Code! Why am I so excited about this?įirstly, it brings an exceptional developer tool to Raspberry Pi. As well as supporting Debian Linux on 圆4, there are now builds for ARM and ARM64 – both of which can run on Raspberry Pi OS (the ARM build on Raspberry Pi OS, the ARM64 on the beta of the 64-bit Raspberry Pi OS). I’ve been hoping for years VS Code would come to Raspberry Pi, and finally it’s here.
