The Aim

Provide a convenient way to install developer tools in VSCode workspaces from conda-forge with micromamba. Get NodeJS, Go, Rust, Python or JupyterLab installed by running a single command.

Inspired by Robocorp RPA developer tools:

• RCC - a command-line tool to run software robots and integrate with the Robocorp Cloud
• Robocorp Lab - a JupyterLab based IDE to build software robots
• Robocorp Code - a VSCode extension to build software robots
