You can add basic language support by writing a custom TextMate file.
To extend the support further, you'd need to write what's called a language service.
This could actually be Euphoria application that runs and accepts an HTTP-like protocol (really more like JSON-RPC).
Read more here: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/languages/overview
Q: Can I contribute my own language service?
A: Yes you can! Check out the example language server in the VS Code Extension Authoring documentation.
Q: What if I don't want to create a full language service, can I reuse existing TextMate bundles?
A: Yes, you can also add support for your favorite language through TextMate colorizers. See Themes, Snippets, and Colorizers topic in the Extension Authoring section to learn how to integrate TextMate .tmLanguage syntax files into VS Code.
I personally do not like Visual Studio Code. I don't like things like Atom or other Electron-based applications.
