Does anyone know how to program Arduino/stm32 using vscode?

There's a vscode extension you can install that uses the arduino backend to compile and upload new sketches. You'll have to have the IDE/CLI already installed. If you want to avoid the IDE entirely I'd recommend the CLI available on github here and the instructions for the vscode extension can be found on circuitstate here. Good luck!
Is there any good alternatives for the Arduino IDE that works under pure Wayland environment??

The Arduino folks also make the Arduino-CLI if you like typing at the shell like me: https://github.com/arduino/arduino-cli

The Arduino IDE 2.0 (beta)

> I'm sure you can still develop in VSCode with third-party plugins.
The Arduino IDE 2.0 uses the ArduinoCLI as backend and they comunicate through a gRPC API, most functionalities are implemented only in the latter. It's technically feasible to create a VSCode plugin. :)
> (To be honest though, I would have been happy enough if they built it in Emacs, even if similar objections apply.)
Never used Emacs but I think it should be doable to integrate the ArduinoCLI as a plugin, if you want to take a try at it I suggest you read the docs. The gRPC is still not 100% stable though, I made a big refactoring in the initialization steps recently that still needs to be merged.

Compile Arduino sketches in Yocto/BitBake with arduino-cli

I created some BitBake recipes to compile Arduino sketches using arduino-cli during a Yocto/Bitbake build. The (perhaps less convenient) alternatives would be to:
