pretty sure thanks to vs code, vs2017 now needs to run a node.js instance to provide js intellisense

this is the only sane way to handle js

i was not commenting on nodejs specifically

i just meant that js is resistant to static analysis. doing anything useful with intellisense is gonna require a javascript runtime to eval poo poo and inspect the results.

for java ides you can use the js runtime built into standard java implementations

in vs.net, welp, kinda stuck with an external tool

emacs is an unusable pile of rear end that requires you to know an esoteric dead language to operate

1. you don't need to know any lisp to use emacs

2. even with the dead gay lisp, emacs is still better than any other editor. what would you rather use? javascript?

Zmacs is the true path, GNU emacs is just a pale imitation

but zmacs is dead, and the pale imitation is alive and has a large community
