Session
The Yocto Project VS Code extension stands at a crossroads between two worlds: embedded Linux and web development. Providing a seamless IDE experience came with many challenges, such as integrating the slow BitBake build system with the fast-paced TypeScript language server. In this talk, we will dive into the architecture of the extension, focusing on advanced tradeoffs and optimization strategies to create a seamless and intuitive development experience.
