With other languages, most IDEs provide tools/buttons to create well structured projects.
In julia, I use PkgSkeleton.jl or PkgTemplates.jl to create project, but I think that this process could be more accessible (especially for beginner) with an IDE (vscode) support.
Would you consider such a feature to be useful and possible to implement ?
Unfortunately I know almost nothing about vscode extension underlying technology and my question was more meant to be a super careful feature request .
I have observed that some Julia beginners with low CS background (but strong scientific skills) tend to put off engaging in effective project-based development. They can waste a lot of time missing the benefits of Julia projects (Revise.jl, dependency management, environment compilation, IDE support, git tools…).
I think that this feature could help Julia adoption smoothing the Julia’s learning curve.
Of course, such a feature would also help general user like me (already convinced by the project development necessity), to start new project faster. In particular for super small projects were you experiment a little with some packages.
