version is so far usable from my Windows 10 machine.

graphcis file format
Web Reference -> <Symbol>

The packages launches a ZeroMQ based socket channel to the wolfram kernel, according to the document, after you launch wolframscript
runtime through cmd
. The service use loopback call on port 6235. My machine properly displayed Mathematica/Wolfram daemon at:
- Windows system tray
tasklist /SVC

Once you close the VS code application, wolfram.exe
and mathematica.exe
daemons terminate automatically.
The server log has some error spew related to non-UTF-8 encoded Chinese charaters because of my OS language is zh-CHS. English OS users need no worry in general.
VS code users on this forum can try this extension and make some suggestions for improvements to the developers.
