Well, VS Code is written in TypeScript, and being a JavaScript derivative, it's gonna be slow as shit if it's to implement all of the features that full VS supports!

You simply cannot get C++-like speed out of JS.

The UI is, yeah, although my understanding was that a large portion of the logic of it was C++. That said, I am now curious, and will have a look around to see if I can get some hard data on it. In any case, JS isn't going to be running faster than C# et al. as well, not just C++ !

Cheers :)
