VSCode can't build anything, it's just an editor. But it can call[1] out to the build system to do whatever build for whatever platform you like. Visual Studio is the full-featured IDE and there's a free (as in beer, Microsoft hasn't gotten *that* far down the open source road!) version [2]. There's even a Mac version[3] that's probably better than Xcode, though admittedly that's not saying much. I don't know much about WSL, I was wondering out loud.
