I see that there are 2 Visual Studio Code extensions for nim. The one that has the most downloads by far is vscode-Nin ([https://github.com/pragmagic/vscode-nim)](https://github.com/pragmagic/vscode-nim\)). That one is not updated very frequently. I don’t think it even claims to support nim 1.0, let alone 1.2. In its documentation it still references VSCode 0.10!
There is another one called Nim-alt ([https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=garym.nim-alt](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=garym.nim-alt)) which seems to be a fork of the first one (perhaps due to the lack of activity in the first one?). It has been updated more recently and claims to have fixed some problems with the original extension. Which one do you guys recommend? I know that editors and IDEs are very personal choices for a lot of people. Yet I think that I order for nim to become a more mainstream language there should be at least one good quality, up to date extension for at least one of the major editors. From what I’ve read in this forum VSCode seems to be the most commonly recommended nim programming environment. The fact that the available VSCode extensions seem to lag significantly behind the language does not look great.
