Maybe not the appropriate forum but does anyone have a sane setup for the insane javascript setup of modern times?

I love emacs and am willing to put the time into tooling and configuration. But despite several hopeful attempts, I’ve been unable to manage anything comparable to vscode for this environment.

That is, support for all versions of ecmascript, but also jsx, typescript, et al.

Sorry I don't use emacs, but Vim/Neovim is pretty easy to setup with coc and all it's subextensions for stuff like eslint, tailwind, vue and whatever. It's essentially just the VSCode language server running in Vim and it's awesome.

I appreciate the input and will look into the VSCode language server.

I’ve found tide-mode + rjsx-mode was mostly sufficient to bring me back to emacs after a short time with vscode

Here’s the relevant lines of my config. https://github.com/fiddlerwoaroof/dotfiles/blob/master/emacs...

I thought it was a bit laggy at first, but when I went back to VSCode, I noticed that all the issues I thought were emacs problems were present in vscode as well.

Thank you, I’ll be giving it a try!
