Typing in them feels awful. Is this a problem anyone else has experienced?

When I run “\> Restart julia language server” from the VSCode menu, everything is snappy and responsive for about 20 seconds, until the language server is up again.

Thanks for the reply! Are there any documented workarounds that you can point me to? I struggled to find anything myself.

Unfortunately that saß AI slop, so you’re unlikely to get further help.

Have you searched the forum? I feel like I’ve seen this issue before.

Also how bad is the lag?
