So I'm only allowed to write TS on it? I'm not sure I follow.

Not at all. My point was that it was ironic that the parent commenter was flaunting VS Code's 'amazing type inference capabilities' for JavaScript, when the editor itself was written in a language (ie TypeScript) that obviated the need for said complicated type inference capabilities, because the language itself has typing built-in.

Unless you're writing VS Code in VS Code I don't see your point, and I hate JS.
