I'm specifically referring to: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/python/jupyter-support-py

The support for R looks a bit different (to me at least?): https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/languages/r

In the screenshot the window on the right does not look comparable to the output in a jupyter notebook. It looks more like a standard terminal. e.g. does it support interactive charts, html tables etc?

The Python interactive window uses the ipykernel package to allow rich outputs like that.

I still might be wrong and would like to be corrected on this, since it would mean R support in VS Code is now better than I thought (I haven't tried it fora. while)

I use r in a Jupyter Notebook in VS via IRKernel. It's a gem.

Oh - nice, thanks - so it looks like the interactive window (which is effectivey the same as the output in a jupyter notebook) is also possible, but not (yet) 'properly'/'officially' supported
