Makefiles etc. Many types of projects use arbitrary setup and build commands or can load arbitrary plugins, and unlike VS which imposes its own project format, VSC tries to be compatible with everything that people already use. Git hooks are another one.
Please see the reply to the other comment, obviously I wasn’t explicit enough in explaining I’m talking about code execution simply by opening a directory.
Some project types, such as Gradle or Maven projects, use arbitrary commands or plugins in project setup. You have to run arbitrary plugins to know which directories are the source directories, and you have to know which directories are the source directories to do anything in Java.
There’s no need to run that when opening a directory is there?
