Deno as a VSCode language server

To use Deno as a VSCode language server you must first install the Deno CLI. Assuming you have access to a Linux-linux terminal:

$ curl -fsSL https://deno.land/x/install/install.sh | sh

This should download the deno binary to $HOME/.deno/bin/deno. Either add this directory to your PATH, or copy the binary to the system-wide bin directory:

$ sudo cp $HOME/.deno/bin/deno /usr/local/bin/deno

Make sure the .vscode/settings.json file points to the correct deno binary. For example:

{
    "deno.enable": true,
    "deno.path": "/usr/local/bin/deno"
}

External modules must be cached by Deno before you can benefit from their type annotations.

Cache external modules using the following command:

$ deno cache --reload my_entry_point.js
