Setting Up a VS Code IDE

So far you have successfully built MEL, perhaps run some of its examples, or even created your own CMake project and built it from the command line. You may be wondering now how you will actually write code. For MEL based projects, we recommend using a lightweight text editor over full blown IDEs like Visual Studio or Eclipse. While these IDEs provide a number of features which are undoubtedly useful, it's is unlikely that you will benefit from the added complexity. Furthermore, it is very easy for your projects to become tightly integrated with the IDE itself, making future migrations difficult.

By far the best option we have come across is Visual Studio Code (not to be confused with Visual Studio proper)
