The C# language, with the latest C# 7 productivity enhancements, is naturally supported, as is F#, powered by the same F# compiler used in Visual Studio. Visual Studio for Mac supports native Android, iOS, and Mac development via Xamarin, and server development via. Microsoft plans to eventually sunset Xamarin Studio. Inheriting from the mobile-centric Xamarin Studio and from Visual Studio for Windows, the IDE is supposed to encourage Mac and iOS developers to use Microsoft’s development tools, since they will no longer need a Windows computer or virtual machine to do so.
Then, in November 2016, Visual Studio for Mac arrived in preview (the “2017” was only tacked on today for branding consistency). This has changed over time, with a big highlight in April 2015 when Microsoft launched Visual Studio Code, its cross-platform code editor, for Windows, Mac, and Linux. Bringing its IDE to macOS is a big milestone for Microsoft, given that the company once made a point of locking in developers by only offering its tools on Windows.
