Code-Runner : Cool Extension

 It has been a long time (really long), since i blogged something. I shouldnt have stopped it in the first place. So many tools have emerged in the last few years and i think VS is definitely one of them. A very cool editor (I guess its much more than an editor)

I was planning to write some Groovy scripts and was looking to run these scripts in an editor. VS was my first choice. I have installed Groovy Binaries and then updated PATH on my mac (/etc/paths). With this setup, i was able to run my "Hello World!" script using VS terminal. Bingo, it worked! God, i missed all this fun. Nevertheless, I'm here again.

I was looking for a much cooler extension as i want to avoid Terminal. I was actually looking for a right-click and run option. Here comes an amazing extension, Code-Runner which supports tens of languages. All i need to setup is code-runner.executorMap for the command to run. Such a cool extension!

Again, Its good to be back. 

"Hello, World!"
