Smuggling hidden backdoors into JavaScript with homoglyphs and invisible Unicode characters
PHPStorm detects \u3164 "HANGUL FILLER" but VS Code does not. I tried using the Gremlins plugin, but looks like it currently doesn't detect this confusable. Is there any alternative plugin or setting in VS code to help detect these characters?

State of C++ development on VSCode?
I see a large number of C++ packages and from reading the descriptions alone I cannot tell what is "useful" or what and how things go together. I'm hoping to get some clarification on them. The awesome-vscode github lists multiple packages (I'm sure there are many more) and I have no idea how they intertwine.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing vscode-gremlins and awesome-vscode you can also consider the following projects:
zio-prelude - A lightweight, distinctly Scala take on functional abstractions, with tight ZIO integration
agda-mode-vscode - agda-mode on VS Code
Discord-Tools - VSCode extension allowing the integration of a Discord chat, bot templates, snippets, themes and more!
coc-ccls - CCLS (C/C++) extension for coc.nvim
proposal - Go Project Design Documents
Magic Python - Cutting edge Python syntax highlighter for Sublime Text, Atom and Visual Studio Code. Used by GitHub to highlight your Python code!
