Julia language as a native citizen? #3679

Since it is a data science IDE now, not just R, or Python. Any plans for Julia support? Currently it is awkward that even though VSCode internals of Positron recognise Julia code and highlight it, but the choice of kernels is limited to R and Python (I have Julia installed).

Just learned about this project and this was the first question that came to my mind. I'm generally quite happy with the Julia VSCode extension, but would love to test Positron for Julia.

Thank you so much for your interest in Positron! 🙌 Positron is in fact built with the kind of extensibility that would allow us to add support for Julia, or other data science languages that become important in the future. Positron's API for extensions is not fully mature yet so supporting another language would be a bit further in the future than we are thinking right now.

It would be great indeed to offer native support for Julia and any other language important to Data Science. Thank you everyone and @juliasilge. Looking forward!
