The October 2021 update to Python in Visual Studio Code continues to boost notebook functionality, now adding the ability to debug Jupyter Notebooks.

The August 2021 release of the Python Extension for Visual Studio Code completes a revamp of the Jupyter Notebooks experience that was started more than a year ago.

The code in Jupyter Notebook notebooks is typically Python code, although you may add support in your Jupyter environment for other languages such as R or Julia.

Microsoft has released version 1.58 of Visual Studio Code, also known as the June 2021 release, with improvements related to usability, customization, debugging, and Jupyter Notebook support.
