Reviews
gollark: Actually, for all the ones I use regularly it's basically as I type.
gollark: It's decently fast for me in *some* languages, at least.
gollark: > say that to my 50 second load time for atom, 5-10 for vscodeI said "fast enough", and I have an SSD so VSCode loads in about a second. Which isn't great, but okay.
gollark: And in some cases I don't know it at all and can just try typing something, look at the convenient documentation snippet, and maybe see if it errors (in more strongly typed languages).
gollark: I can work faster if I don't have to memorize the exact name of every useful function and can just approximate it and have the editor fill it in.
