> Given the central role of the Julia extension for VS Code, I believe that the resources devoted to this project should be considerably increased. There is a commercial entity to promote Julia: Perhaps it should chip in? Devote one person full time to making this extension work so that newcomers are impressed. At this point, newcomers seem to be distinctly underwhelmed, given their experience with Matlab IDE or R Studio or Spyder.

While this conversation has generated all kinds of very good (and a lot of tangential) discussion, let’s make this concrete.

Do we have any devs who have a clear vision on where the VS Code extension needs to go, and a proposal for a budget they would need to make it happen? If we have a capable dev and a reasonable budget, that would be a great starting point to find the funds to make it happen.
