You can use whatever language you want. To do that change settings properly:
- Open settings (from command palette) or
Ctrl+,
- Go to
acmx.execution.compile
- Change this value to run your compilation line.
You have access to two variable in this line:
$PROGRAM
the path to your solution. (in the case of C++/path/to/sol.cpp
)$OUTPUT
the path to an executable that run your program.
By default it is: g++ -std=c++11 $PROGRAM -o $OUTPUT
which compile c++11 code using g++.
You can use other compilers, or even better, awesome scripts that solve your particular problem.
