typescript-lan VS evil-textobj-tree-sitter

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...

One thing I have difficulty understanding is that given MS is (was?) the primary proponent of LSP, why do community projects like typescript-language-server need to exist ?

Why can't arbitrary LSP clients connect directly to tsserver (maintained by MS) ?

You may be aware but the author of TFA also has a tree-sitter based minor mode called Combobulate for exactly that:

https://www.masteringemacs.org/article/combobulate-structure...

There is also evil-textobj-tree-sitter for tree-sitter based text objects for Evil mode:

https://github.com/meain/evil-textobj-tree-sitter

here are the structural editing tools, and they're great - https://github.com/meain/evil-textobj-tree-sitter

evil-mode users already have options, and there seems to be a new package with general applicability too.

evil-textobj-tree-sitter: provides new textobjects to evil-mode, thanks to treesitter

I have a package which lets you target language level constructs like functions, classes, conditionals etc for text objects using tree-sitter. This is specific to evil mode as of now, though making it work outside evil would not be that big an effort. https://github.com/meain/evil-textobj-tree-sitter

Other than combobulate, these packages also use tree-sitter for changing code (not just highlighting): * https://codeberg.org/FelipeLema/tree-sitter-indent.el * https://github.com/meain/evil-textobj-tree-sitter

not lsp, treesitter is the way to go. lsp does not provide AST ATM. There is already https://github.com/meain/evil-textobj-tree-sitter . As a side note, smartparens work on non-lispy code. I am very happy with using in combination with evil-cleverparens.
