    Can't you just give some love to the issue https://github.com/pganalyze/libpg_query/issues/44 instead ? As I said before this would be very helpful for the community because there are a lot of libraries that use libpg_query and cannot be used on windows (f.e see https://github.com/lelit/pglast/issues/7).

    It seems that the only problem for fixing the problem is:

    > Thanks for the offer, but the problem is our team being time limited / having an engineer with a Windows machine ready to take this on, not that we wouldn't want to pay someone to work on it :)

    (https://github.com/pganalyze/libpg_query/issues/44#issuecomm...)

    Hosting the LSP elsewhere is really needed since if people wanted to go that way they could use Remote ssh (https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/remote/ssh) to host the whole dev environment on linux and connect to it.

    Thank you
