    I saw no mention of RBS+Steep, the latter providing a LSP. I use it a lot and very much like it, although it's still young and needs love, but it's making good, steady progress! I've been very pleasantly surprised by some of the crazy things Steep can catch, completely statically!

    You appear to be working on projects with Sorbet (which I tried to like but found it fell short in practice, notably outside of the app use case i.e it's mostly useless for gems) so it may be a tall order to try on those. Maybe you can give RBS+Steep a shot on some small project?

    You obviously never tried the various LSP plugins for ST. It will give you the same intelllgent code tools as the jetbrains IDEs, which goes way beyond just syntax highlighting and linting and there's support for a lot of languages. https://lsp.sublimetext.io/

    https://github.com/sublimelsp/LSP with https://github.com/sublimelsp/LSP-typescript works pretty well for me. They are also both being actively maintained. It'd be nice if it was built-in, but it works well enough that I still have not found a compelling reason to switch to VSCode.

    I really love sublime and it doesn't seem to be dead just yet. Sublime Text 4 was also a pretty great release.

    I tried sublime this year now that it has an LSP (language server), along with the Go plugin. Maybe it would take more getting used to, but VSCode has done such a great job for coding in. Sublime's project view just wasn't as good either.

    I really still like sublime for editing text or log files on my dev system, but not for development.

    Besides the features TypeScript itself proposed, the most important thing it brought to the community was the ability to create cool features around this compiler that enhance the developer experience and productivity. Tools like tsserver, pretty ts errors, and many others are actively improving the ecosystem for both JavaScript and TypeScript writers.

    Sometimes a language server can support multiple filetypes. An example of this is tsserver, the language server for javascript and typescript. In this case a filetype plugin can still work but there is an easier way to go about it.

    That was interesting, thanks for pointing it out

    I was tremendously sad to see that the Typescript Language Server wasn't owned by Microsoft <https://microsoft.github.io/language-server-protocol/impleme...>, since if there was any sanity in the world a spec bump would travel with a reference implementation showing how they envision such a thing being used

    But, I found that the Typescript Language Server that they did list does indeed have a semantic-tokens module in it, although it's much shorter than I would have expected from reading that section in the spec: https://github.com/typescript-language-server/typescript-lan...

  • Struggling with javascript completion with LSP
    2 projects | /r/emacs | 15 Jun 2023
    Depending on the language server version, you may be running into https://github.com/typescript-language-server/typescript-language-server/issues/631. I temporarily fixed it for me by simply sticking with an old enough server build, though judging by the latest typescript-language-server commits a very recent build from master should also work
  • There's another typescript LSP that wraps the official VSCode typescript extension and has almost the same features - vtsls
    6 projects | /r/neovim | 28 Apr 2023
    Before, I was using typescript-language-server as it is LSP compliant but it was slow and lacks the features of what VSCode's implementation has, like extracting functions, constants, types into interfaces or alias and single imports. Auto-completion was also not very predictive as sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. For instance, I was having trouble getting it to auto-complete common attributes like className or href in JSX projects. It could be that I may be doing something wrong but didn't find any solution on how to get it properly working.
  • What could cause my LSP to be so slow and sluggish? Takes anywhere from 1 to 8 seconds to show auto-completion results and hide/ unhide errors.

    Then this is highly likely issue of typescript-language-server. You might consider opening an issue for it.
