I do not disagree, but I use IntelliJ for work and it shows clearly where some reference is imported from and let you navigate to it with a shortcut. VSCode does similar things with plugins and LSP, just much worse. I cannot work in VSCode because navigating code is so slow. Is this suggestion only useful when you don’t have such tools? It seems impossible to me that people can live without them, at least in a professional setting.


Let's not write software and especially programming languages which assume or depend on users having access to advanced tools that require a monthly subscription.

Useful when writing the code but not much use when reading the code.
