Have you contacted vscode with idea to integrate your code into vscode

I believe I contacted the VS Code team many times with the showcase of the working product of mine (Block highlighting extension), and I think they really like this idea, but as I see, they find it too difficult (or too unsafe) to expose native AST tokens to extensions. Integrating my extension into VS Code? I don't know, probably it's also difficult technically. I think they already thought about it.

Here you can see a conversation where they basically invited me to hear my opinion. https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/128465

have you tried to prepare PR with this feature

Unfortunately my technical skills are not wide enough to deal with such integration PRs, especially with AST tokenization. Actually, when I started building Blockman, I had less than 3 months of experience with software development. I was basically very young in the dev profession. My coding skills were almost zero, but I was so dedicated to implement my idea that I was researching and learning about making extensions and building it almost 24/7 for many months. Now only 2 years have passed. 2 years is not much for software developer skills. Fortunately, at least I managed to learn React.js, TS, Next.js, CSS/SCSS to find a good job.
