    it’s a domain specific language

    Yeah, but it’s very configurable and has some extensions that have really changed how I work in an editor, that I can completely change the internals for on the fly, which is not a priority for vscode

    I have no strong attachment to lisp and I agree having to learn it is a con and a time sink, but I’ve done some small extension development for vscode and hated it

    Nevermind that you already know the language when it’s behind layers of api cruft and a seperate compiler, then the debugger gives you minifed javascript bleh

    Commercial arguments are a thing, but a bit reductive no? How would vscode extension development help you earn a job that grinding leetcode or that specific role would be better suited for
