Visual Studio 2015 Supports CLANG and Android (Emulator Included)

Posted by timothy on from the exigent-realities dept.

Billly Gates (198444) writes "What would be unthinkable a decade ago is Visual Studio supporting W3C HTML and CSS and now apps on other platforms. Visual Studio 2015 preview is available for download which includes support for LLVM/Clang, Android development, and even Linux development with Mono using Xamarin. A little more detail is here. A tester also found support for Java, ANT, SQL LITE, and WebSocket4web. We see IE improving in terms of more standards and Visual Studio Online even supports IOS and MacOSX development. Is this a new Microsoft emerging? In any case it is nice to have an alternative to Google tools for Android development."

    Visual Studio is a great IDE, and Google's Android emulator is so slow you'd think it was a joke. So even without a additional framework it's great that you can dump the laugable Eclipse IDE (which has "Open Source shit designed by a deranged committee of fuckwits" all over it), and put the excellent but still not quite as polished Android Studio to one side, and develop for Android that way.

    It's not slow, you have to enable kvm
    And this is exactly why I hate windows developers, They have no fucking clue how stuff works in their own OS and blame others for it.
    If you can't enable vt-x in your platform fuck off.
