Research direction

Start with the README.md files in each anycode-* subfolder and compare their Marketplace pages. Document that each language extension is included or automatically installed with the main anycode extension, including the option to uninstall unused languages, then publish the updated information to the Marketplace.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

  1. https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-vscode.anycode-rust --> Q & A --> "Ask a question" forwarded me here, and there's no other obvious discussion/forums place/link, so please don't close this Github issue just because you can.

  2. Is/was anycode-rust a subset/specialization of anycode for Rust only? If so, is it possible to keep it up to date? (https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-vscode.anycode-rust&ssr=false#version-history)

  3. Otherwise, please make it/mark it obsolete/unmaintained on the Marketplace, and/or make it redirect (if possible) or liknk to anycode.

EDIT: I see, anycode installs or includes other anycode-* extensions.

Please document that or make it obvious on the Marketplace page for each of anycode-. Ideally with README.md in each anycode- subfolder/directory, and then push to the Marketplace, so it's obvious both on GitHub and on Marketplace. You could even use same README.md for all, just mentioning something like "This VS Code extension is included/automatically installed as a part of the main anycode extension. If you do not use this language, you can uninstall it afterwards."
