Like, a joke version of Windows, yes. As a developer, if my machine can't run Visual Studio then it's not interesting to me at all. I can see it being acceptable to people who work predominantly with tools that have an ARM binary though.

VSCodium works great on ARM64, I was testing it last week when I tried doing some dev work from a Raspberry Pi running the beta 64-bit OS: https://github.com/VSCodium/vscodium

Visual studio code has an arm build now [0]. I don't know what regular VS is written on but assuming it's .NET framework I assume a build will show up as the framework itself improves on ARM.

[0]: https://github.com/VSCodium/vscodium/releases/tag/1.46.1 (basically just MS source minus branding)

VS Code is not what anyone means by Visual Studio in that context. No one uses Windows for VS Code.

Of course VS Code works on ARM, it's an electron app.

VS is not built on top of dotNET.

VS Code was expected to run on anything, being nothing more than Javascript & HTML wrapped via Electron.

I known in 2010 the Visual Studio UI was rewritten in WPF/CSharp, I don't know which UI system they are using in 2019. It is documented in the wiki entry and a few blog posts MS made.

Visual Studio proper is a mix of C/C++, .NET, and COM.

I use Visual Studio, but I could just as easily use JetBrain’s Rider and be just as content.

Windows on ARM can run vsCode fine now. Traditional VS is on the way, but you can run x64 Windows apps on ARM.
