🛠 @code 1.6.0 now has built-in, fast bracket colourisation. You can turn it on with "editor.bracketPairColorization.enabled": true. This works around the performance problems of the highly used "Bracket Pair Colorizer" extension, so you can uninstall that and free some RAM.

It never felt right to me to manipulate style settings in JavaScript when CSS is the right tool for the job. With CSS custom properties we can send to CSS what needs to come from JavaScript. For example, mouse position.

Don't let "but I'm not an expert" stop you from publishing and presenting. Sharing and sparking excitement is as - if not more - important than pure facts. Experts can share biases along with their facts and that stifles innovation. Help diversify. We need your voice.
