A modern IDE extension with complete TAL and COBOL language support, Guardian API IntelliSense, an integrated linter, remote Nonstop compile, and AI-powered chat — so your team edits, compiles and fixes Nonstop code without leaving VS Code.
The tooling gap is a hiring problem, a productivity problem, and a succession problem at once — and it is raised from every level of the organization.
I can't recruit younger developers — they won't use 1990s tools.
Development Manager
I want VS Code, IntelliSense, and AI chat — the way I work everywhere else.

How can we leverage AI to increase our Nonstop development productivity?
CIO
Developers edit code with real-time syntax highlighting and error detection, upload to Nonstop, run remote compilers, and see results mapped back to their editor.
Full TAL language support with Guardian API IntelliSense, so the procedures you call are documented where you call them.
Real-time syntax highlighting, code completion, and inline error detection as you type.
An integrated linter catches problems in both languages before anything reaches a compiler.
Compile on Nonstop from the editor, with errors mapped back to the exact line in your source.
Plain-language questions, generated code snippets, and suggested fixes for the errors in front of you.
Attract and retain younger developers. Accelerate Nonstop DevOps. Make every Nonstop developer more productive with AI assistance grounded in your specific codebase.
Navigator, Navigator Atlas, and Navigator VS Code share a unified knowledge base, so the understanding captured in one product enriches the others. Atlas's deterministic dependency map grounds Navigator's AI explanations. Both can surface in VS Code as developers work.
AI documentation and business rules extracted from your Nonstop source.
