When will you make support for Rust and Golang languages?

Question

When will you make support for Rust and Golang languages? Are there any plans to add these technologies? If so, when?

Answer 1

Thanks for posting your question in the Microsoft Q&A forum.

Visual Studio Code already supports Rust and Golang languages.

https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/languages/overview

However, if you are referring to Visual Studio IDE, you can check here to add support for Rust language in the IDE.

As for Golang, there is no official announcement yet. However, you can use Visual Studio Code to develop Golang applications.

Hi @pendulum , 

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A! 

Currently, the Rust language support can be available using the rust-analyzer.vs extension.

About adding Golang language support in Visual Studio , it is still being under review. You can vote on that ticket and add your comment to track the process. 

Thank you for helping us build a better Visual Studio! 

Sincerely,

Anna
