What Is a Text Editor? And Why Does It Matter to Developers?
If you have Windows, you have access to the default Notepad application installed on your computer.
At some point, you would have used Notepad to replace Microsoft Word. But those who work with code understand that while it looks similar to Microsoft Word in terms of providing a writing space, Notepad can do more.
Most modern systems come with pre-installed basic text editor software like Notepad, and you can use them for more than just taking notes and creating documents.

I assume you want to add syntax highlighting and code support for other programming languages that are not supported natively on Visual Studio Code. The best way to do this is to switch to the Extensions tab and search for extensions for the programming language that you want to add. You'd usually install the one with the highest number of installs and positive reviews.
