If you're here just for the section on vscode working with Python on WSL, jump here.

Creating a modern development environment in Windows

Windows is now a development environment that can compete with Mac and Linux. Windows Subsystems for Linux lets you have an Ubuntu (or other Linux flavor) installation that works near seemlessly inside of Windows. Hyper Terminal running WSL's Bash and Visual Studio Code feel really nice to code in. These are instructions for getting set up and smoothing out most of the remaining rough edges. I've included a section on getting vscode to work well with Python and WSL, but the general pattern should be usable for any unsupported language (as of now, I believe it's only Node.js that has WSL support in vscode).

	//Solution for tour.golang.org/#70
	//Generalized so it neither requires trees of the same size
	//nor sorted trees - where the value of the node to left is smaller
	//than the current node and the value to the right is greater
	//by David Allen

	package main

	import (
	"tour/tree"

	#additions

	# For switching to mounted home easily
	cd() {
	if [[ $@ == "m~" ]]; then
	command cd "/mnt/c/Users/david"
	else
	command cd "$@"
	fi
	}
