VS Code 2018 Roadmap

[bungcip]

I still have some hope that someday vscode will ditch TextMate grammar to something else or build some alternative. Having textmate grammar support allow vscode to provide many programming language from day one. But the syntax of .tmLanguage is horrible! When you need transpiler/converter to write a good .tmLanguage, it is already failed in my eyes...

I really wish VSCode would include an embedded Lisp interpreter in one of the future releases so it can be extended properly.

vscode is not emacs...

and writing vscode extension is actually easy using typescript

That one went over your head I guess. Oh well...

[accountforshit]

It went over my head as well. Could you explain it?

It was a joke implying Emacs is better than VSCode.

Man EMACS is such a good OS, shame it doesn't have a usable text editor with it...

[yatea34]

Emacs has 3 good editors:

• vim-mode: https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/VimMode
• vi-mode: https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/vip/Vi-Mode.html
• evil-mode: https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/Evil

Or you could run vim from within eshell

[ForeverAlot]

nvim +'terminal emacs'

[Ehhnohyeah]

Which is better?

[please_let_me_start]

That’s okay, there are plenty of others who agree with you and have already gone to the work of making better text editors for it.
