VS Code uses Javascript the same way Emacs uses Lisp. For people more familiar with Javascript, it is not a bad idea. And it has a very active community that has created lots of plugins.

Personally, I do prefer Emacs, if only because by now I have accumulated ten years worth of customizing. But I have tried VS Code a few times, and I can see why people would like it. (There is a plugin that gives you Emacs-style keybindings.)

Actually, technically it uses Javascript since that’s what Typescript compiles to and since Typescript is a superset of Javascript...all Javascript is Typescript. xD

technically technically and technically we all compile to asm since v8 does that on the fly and technically technically it is 1's and 0's. Hence my reasoning for saying typescript ;p
