In the Stack Overflow Developer Survey last year, Visual Studio was named the second most popular integrated development environment (IDE) used by programmers to create software.

Though details are light for now, Microsoft today took the wraps off of Visual Studio 2019, the next major release planned for the developer suite.

Microsoft has released Visual Studio 2019 version 16.6 Preview 2 of the integrated development environment (IDE) with a new IntelliSense linter to help C++ developers efficiently clean up code.

Microsoft said its compiler and standard library are feature-complete for C++ 20 in Visual Studio 2019 16.10, while a 16.11 preview centers on Hot Reload and .NET MAUI.
