Visual Studio Code is a lightweight IDE from Microsoft for developers to write code in a variety of languages like Python, PHP and more. It has inbuilt support for Git as well.

Canonical, Ubuntu's parent company, in partnership with Microsoft has made it possible to install Visual Studio Code on any Linux distribution which supports snap.

The updated Python extension is available for download from Microsoft's Visual Studio Code (VS Code) marketplace, where it's currently the most popular programming language by a long mile.

If you want to code using Visual Studio Code but you're using a Chromebook, it's not a problem at all.
