64 bit VS Code is out and now I have an erection

What are the advantages?

@tracktraps erections

@Zennoe Hmm ... never got that problem. I've currently installed 374 extensions (~ 45 active) and working on a project that contains about 58k files (JS, PHP, TS, a lot of node modules, webpack watch active, active chrome debugger, ~ 10 tabs open) ... RAM usage: 522.23MiB. Never got it over about 700 - 800 MB.

@tracktraps Knowing that your 64 bit processor has its appropriate programs running

@Zennoe that's because it's a freaking Electron app XD

TMI dude...

Was it not already 64-bit? Huh

@eArshdeep It was out only for Windows and as a Preview, but now it is in the stable release though still for Windows only

@eArshdeep not for Windows.

@gitpush Thanks for clearing that up

@eArshdeep you welcome ^_^

On Linux it was always 64-bit (with 32-bit option)

Is the memory management any better or does it just have more access to it?

@tracktraps seriously?
VSCode and atom won't handle our product code (pretty much what you've described)
Without being super slow..
I use Sublime

@purpletoxicrain curious, what language?

Clojure, Ruby and Nodejs

@purpletoxicrain Seriously. Never more than a maximum of 700 - 800 MB.

Now Visual Studio itself needs 64bit ffs

@purpletoxicrain Yeah I noticed sublime is generally smoother. Maybe it is because of the electron core that atom runs on? I'm not too sure how sublime renders itself

@eArshdeep sublike is Python based and is not atom or any js based.
It has less ui cool features. But all other stuff exist.
It has the best file deep regex based search and is smooth and stable. Using it for 4 years now on multiple languages and it's amazing

@purpletoxicrain Yeah I noticed that it was py based but I didn't know how the ui was rendered. It still uses json like settings though doesn't it

@eArshdeep yes. I like it

@AlgoRythm OH thanks, you ruined my life now every time I see VS code have an update it reminds me about your erection 😯
