I am very impressed. My development cycle has gone from tortuous, to very nice.  
Thanks ever!!!

I’m just working thru the exercises in the e book [Think Julia: How to Think Like a Computer Scientist](https://benlauwens.github.io/ThinkJulia.jl/latest/book.html#_copyright) for fun (I’m 77 & much retired) on my old windows laptop. Yesterday afternoon I was offered to take the latest version of Visual Studio Code. I took it, and magically, the time it took to do my debugging runs reduced from over a minute (it felt like), to the blink of an eye.  
That’s my story, and I’m sticking to it.

Awesome. Faster debugging sounds great for Julia. Thanks for sharing.
