It also parses certain C++ and Fortran syntax as smileys...

It had (had!) a multi-line code block option. Now it still does, but only in the desktop app, not in the browser.

I'm sure they need some native platform APIs to enable entering multi-line code blocks.

Isn't this the company that makes VSCode as well though? Why not pillage some of that code for ... code in messages?

I'd say VSCode is one of the best optimized/built Electron apps out there. The team cares a lot about performance and weird edge cases.

I vastly prefer using Vscode if I need some IDE-esque features over something like IntelliJ these days, even if the latter is more "powerful" in terms of features.
