Common IDE actions have noticeable latency for developers

The ask

Integrated development environments currently exhibit noticeable latency for common developer actions. Operations such as navigating to a function's definition can be slow, negatively impacting productivity. Developers are looking for tools that offer superior performance and lower latency compared to existing options. This indicates a strong desire for more responsive development environments. Existing tools, both commercial and free, are perceived as having performance bottlenecks that hinder workflow. This problem primarily affects professionals working with statically typed programming languages.
