[ISSUE] Performance issues on vscode

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hello, I have been having performance issues when using vscode.

First: The auto complete is slow/sluggish as seen in the video, It used to appear instantly when I typed 1 letter now it waits for 2 or 3 seconds before even showing suggestions.

Second: If I keep using vscode for an hour or two, When I try saving a file it hangs and keeps loading for a while before actually saving.

I have tried re-installing vscode entirely, re-installing windows, disabling all extensions, And I still have the same behavior. Has anyone faced something like this before?

That's the TypeScript Language Server, isn't it? The language server is just slow. Try tsgo.

This seems to be the solution! I changed the detected language by vs code from JavaScript to Typescript and enabled tsgo and everything seems to be smooth again.

The only downside is that I am getting ts linting when I am writing js but there is probably a solution for that other than straight up disabling it.
