alchemy VS sourcekit-lsp

I'm curious if anyone has played with Alchemy.

Hey r/swift, after years of lurking here I’ve got something to contribute! Over the recent year I’ve been working on a web framework for everyone’s favorite language. Its focus is on clean,‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎­elegant, full featured APIs and sharing code between Swift clients and server. There are a couple quickstart projects in there (including one that’s Fullstack; iOS, Backend, Shared all in a single Xcode Project!) to peruse. There’s also a ton of docs that are geared towards fellow Swifters who are just getting started in backend dev. Would love for you guys to check it out and give feedback! https://github.com/alchemy-swift/alchemy

```

There’s also a bunch more examples of APIs around QueryBuilder, Caching, Jobs, Queues, Redis, Commands, Authentication, Middleware etc[1]. And everything will be converted to async/await in the coming days.

It's aimed to be an alternative, vapor is great and super customizable but I wanted to create something that was a little more "convention over configuration" so that out of the box things were a little more simple to follow and get going, if you are willing to do it the Alchemy "way of doing things". For example the ORM models can be super light weight,if you name the database table columns after the CodingKeys of the model.

Alchemy is a recently released Swift web framework.

Great！By the way，you can also use sourcekit-lsp and xcode-build-server to program in neovim directly。though still need to debug in xcode。

After enabling eglot, our local files will not be picked up by language server. Because the documentation(https://github.com/apple/sourcekit-lsp) mentions "IndexStoreDB is built using the Swift Package Manager."

Created an issue: https://github.com/apple/sourcekit-lsp/issues/636

For Objective C it looks like you can use SourceKit-LSP or ccls as language servers.

git clone https://github.com/apple/sourcekit-lsp.git cd sourcekit-lsp/Editors/vscode/ npm install npm run dev-package code --install-extension sourcekit-lsp-development.vsix

There's already an LSP server for Swift (also made for Apple): https://github.com/apple/sourcekit-lsp

This library is intended for syntactic tools: formatters, highlighters, that kind of thing.

You could probably set up something to work on Swift packages, however the tree sitter grammar for Swift hasn’t been updated since 2019. sourcekit-lsp also isn’t likely to help you out either because it’s not made to understand Xcode projects. You’d need an LSP capable of parsing a .pbxproj (I highly doubt there is one, but I haven’t looked around), which has the terrible downside of not being something Apple considers a public API and can and will introduce breaking changes on any Xcode update. An Apple engineer confirmed this with me during a lab in 2020 when I was asking about how doing some hacky things with binary Swift packages.
