# How can one help to improve VSCode via programming?

I would like to learn how I can contribute to this open source IDE and learn how one implements features like Intellisense in IDES. Thus I would like to know which programming languages are required to learn.

You can join the opensource team, and collaborate in many ways, one by participating on the issue board, the other by working directly on development on the project.

The other is to build plugins to solve different needs.

Learning MSVC is not required for joining the open source community.  Start off by getting a good understanding of the chosen language C/C++, Java etc.  Starting with a Microsoft IDE IMHO is the wrong place to start as Microsoft are not terribly good at sticking to standards and very often if you do choose that root you will find compatibility issues later on.
