State of C++ development on VSCode?
I see a large number of C++ packages and from reading the descriptions alone I cannot tell what is "useful" or what and how things go together. I'm hoping to get some clarification on them. The awesome-vscode github lists multiple packages (I'm sure there are many more) and I have no idea how they intertwine.
