I unfortunately can’t pinpoint it to any update/change i made but recently there’s a ridiculous delay between repl startup and shift+enter sending code to it. We’re talking 5-10 minutes. The terminal works immediately, and copying lines directly to it works fine.  
Does anyone else experience this or could point me in a direction to debug it?

Hm, that sounds like a very long language server startup delay. Do you have a particularly big environment activated in VS Code? Do you see any progress messages related to the language server in the status bar?

Wow thanks for pointing it out. My root folder in VS Code was my hard drive, I didn’t know that was a factor. With just one folder open startup time is down to around 20 seconds, definitely more acceptable.  
Thanks for your help!
