title: What is the quantifiable benefit of 64 bit for Visual Studio Code over 32 bit
body: <p>I'm not a hardware guy, but I know that Visual Studio in a 64 bit version issue request was declined by Microsoft stating that a 64 bit version would not have good performance.</p>
  
  <p>Two noticeable differences between the two that I feel are obvious is the code base. One began it's life in 1997, one would think that means more baggage on the Visual Studio side, less opportunities to have very modern application architecture and code and that may make it harder and possibly stuff may be built to perform on 32 bit and for some reason is not suitable for 64 bit? I don't know.</p>
  
  <p>Visual Studio Code on the other hand is an modern Electron app which means it pretty much just compiled HTML. CSS and JavaScript. I'm betting making a version of Visual Studio Code has little in the way of obstructions and although performance may not be something truly noticeable, why not?</p>
  
  <p><strong>P.S.</strong></p>
  
  <p><em>I still would like to understand what areas may be improved in performance and if that improvement is negligible to the a developer. Any additional info or fun facts you may know would be great I would like to have as much info as possible and I will update the question with any hard facts I uncover that are not mentioned.</em></p>
