  • Why LSP?
    14 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 25 Apr 2022
    I once had the idea of implementing an LSP server by embedding it as an IntelliJ plugin and backgrounding the IDE while doing the actual coding in Emacs.

    It kind of worked, but once I stopped needing to use Java for my job it became too much of a hassle to flesh out.

    The LSP means every single language server has to reinvent the wheel again and again.

    It’d have been much more useful to build bindings for IDEA plugins so they could be integrated into arbitrary editors, especially as the IDEA plugins for most languages even after several years of LSP development are still superior.

    All in all it’s like the whole JVM vs. WASM, Java vs Electron story again, with someone deciding to reinvent the wheel but worse.

    There’s even bindings like https://github.com/Ruin0x11/intellij-lsp-server or https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/10209-lsp-support to glue it all back together.

    It’d have been much simpler to reuse an existing ecosystem from the start.
