Is the latest Julia VS Code extension (version 1.6.24) able to run natively on Apple Silicon with the native build of VS Code (not the universal build)? I don’t have a Mac with Apple Silicon at hand so I cannot test now.
The Julia VS Code extension (like VS Code itself), is mostly written in JavaScript (well Typescript).
I suppose that would work for new (or old) extension. But part of it is written in Julia. I believe, as with your own Julia app, that part is run in a separate process, i.e. it could be universal (or not), even though VS Code would be universal (and thus the VM that runs the JS part of the extension).
I think it’s simplest to just check (I don’t have M1), and if it doesn’t run, just not use native (is there a big disadvantage to that?). I believe Julia 1.8-rc1 is recommended for M1 over older (might or might not be as relevant for the extension).
I believe my setup looks like that and it works fine
I tested today on a Mac with M1 and indeed things work natively. Thanks!

How do you know it’s running natively, vs. through Rosetta?
