Vscode-material-icon-theme: [Icon request] Languages folders

[Renondedju]

Being able to have folder icons for each language could be a nice thing.

Python, Typescript, Php, and JavaScript have their own folder icon but not other languages like C++, Lua, C#, Go, C, Haxe etc...

Hi @Renondedju, I first created folder icons for Python, TypeScript, Php and JavaScript because VS Code is used very often to maintain projects based on these languages. I can also add folder icons for other languages, but it would be great if you could propose some folder names for other languages. For example, what are common folder names for C#, C++, Lua, Go, C, Haxe, etc. that would look better with a specific folder icon?

Here are some folder name ideas then!

• Action script 3: as3, as, ActionScript, ActionScript3
• C#: C#, Csharp, .NET, cs
• C++: cpp, cc, c++, inl or inline(s)
• Java: jar, java
• Javascript: javascript, js
• Lua: lua
• Python: python, py
• Haxe: haxe, hx, hxml, hxlib
• Go: go, golang

I can't think of other common names right now but a simple google search can do the trick if needed :)

I actually highly second this, I'd like it if at the very least the .inl extension be added to the list of hpp family file extension so that I'm not missing that one specific file icon.

@SoraKatadzuma Thanks, I added it in cc71748. In the future I would appreciate if you create a separate issue for such requests, because this issue is about folder icons, not file icons.

Can do!

Why would someone name their folders such a way though?

I also wonder if it really needs such folder icons. For example, if someone is working on a Java project, he does not have a folder "java" in his project, but much more "src". With web pages it can happen that there is a "js" or "javascript" folder, but with C#, .NET or Java I honestly don't see it that much.
