Well, to get a boolean out of a bit array you have to do some operations. So at first it doesn’t make it more performant. Compilers probably don’t automatically make them bitarrays because of that.

However, the memory savings means less cache used. And a cache miss is way more expensive than those bit operations. So they should be more performant. I’m sure someone out there has done the actual research and there’s a good reason why compilers don’t make all booleans bitarrays.

Don’t need sudo or anything pre installed for vscode either. It will send the server to the machine via SSH and then run it automagically.

You can do that with vscode too. And probably many IDEs.

The only real reason for which you would need to use vim in such cases is if the target computer can’t run the vscode server, which I’ve never encountered yet.
