It sounds like you have found a solution that works well for you. I don't like to tinker around with my coding environment, which is why I pay someone to do that for me. The primary purpose of my software development efforts is to ship products and generate revenue. Anything that I can do to optimize this process, I will do. If I thought using VSCode and Typescript would reduce costs and increase efficiency, I would use it. This simply isn't the case for my use case.
If your primary use case is developing websites, then VSCode and Typescript are perfectly good solutions.
- overgard 5y agoI guess my main point though is that most other languages don't require complex/expensive tooling though. Like, I also use VSCode for writing C++ microcontroller code and writing python scripts or writing C# game code for Unity. And not just VSCode so I don't sound like a shill here, I'm also able to use the same set of unix utilities, other generic tools, etc. without having to adopt an entirely new tool stack. I just look at the Lisp situation and it's either something like Emacs which just does not appeal to me, or proprietary and expensive tools where I worry if the vendor will even be around in a few years
- brabel 5y agoI am moving away from VS Code and IntelliJ for this exact reason actually: on emacs, there's ALWAYS a package that supports anything you want. And it's so lightweight compared to either VSCode and IntelliJ, it's really refreshing... Have you tried emacs/SLIME? It really isn't complicated, in fact it's the most straightforward stack I've ever tried except for maybe JS right on the browser.
