Microsoft and Canonical Launch Visual Studio Code Snap For Linux

'Following the release of Visual Studio 2019 for Windows and Mac
platforms, Microsoft today is releasing a snap version of Visual
Studio Code. A report adds:

No, the source-code editor is not the Windows-maker's first snap -- it
also released one for Skype, for instance. "As of today, Visual Studio
Code is available for Linux as a snap, providing seamless auto-updates
for its users. Visual Studio Code, a free, lightweight code editor,
has redefined editors for building modern web and cloud applications,
with built-in support for debugging, task running, and version control
for a variety of languages and frameworks," says Canonical. Joao
Moreno, Software Development Engineer, Microsoft Visual Studio Code
offers the following statement: "The automatic update functionality of
snaps is a major benefit. It is clear there is a thriving community
around snaps and that it is moving forward at great pace. The backing
of Canonical ensures our confidence in its ongoing development and
long-term future."'
