Activate Extension on Specific Files or Languages

[YaduAhuja]

Can't we change * to onlanguage activation-events to support the languages that can be run with five-server and ignore every other language so that VSCode's startup speed is Increased?

Currently, Five-Server on my System is using near about 1 sec to run even when I am running CPP or Java files and it will be great if this feature is added.

Below is the Screenshot of Runtime:

What about just lazy loading five-server? It reduced the startup time for me to only 10 - 50ms.

# /src/extension.ts

  if (!fiveServer) {
-   fiveServer = new FiveServer();
+   const FiveServer = await import("five-server");
+   fiveServer = new FiveServer.default();
    startWorkers = true;
}

Thank You!! now the startup time has been reduced to 13ms. Also when will this update reflect in vscode marketplace or I download and compile extension myself?

Nice!!

I don't know when the next version will be released.

Yes, probably you should compile it yourself (using the same release version) and wait for the official update 👍
