Playgrounds are wonderful tool when doing explorative programming.
Is there something similar when using VS Code?

Thanks.

VS Code supports Notebooks (Notebook API | Visual Studio Code Extension API) but I haven't seen one that uses the Swift.

Basically, if repl is available (as far as I am aware, it is not the case when using Windows, but I am not near a windows machine right now to check), one can start repl and use "Terminal: Run Selected Text in Active Terminal" in VS Code to emulate playgrounds (it is not as good as playgrounds, but is passable). However, it is not possible on windows (without WSL). Correct me if I am wrong.

Do notebooks work with any language? Or there needs to be something like Swift-Jupyter in order for notebooks to work? (Swift-Jupyter and Swift-Colab have been abandoned and do not support recent versions of Swift)

Thanks.
