What is your favorite VSCode extension for Crystal?

[thbar]

Hello!

I’m migrating to VSCode. I was looking for a Crystal extension when I noticed that there a more than a few.

https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=faustinoaq.crystal-lang seems popular, but am I missing a better one?

I wonder if it would make sense to have one recommended, officially supported VSCode extension, by the way!

Thanks,

So far I’ve been using that one on VSCode.

Well, it’s the best one as far as I know. The extension you mentioned is hosted on the same organisation with Scry (Crystal code analysis server)
