LSP could have been better

1. language-server-protocol

   1 131 12,026 8.5 HTML

   Defines a common protocol for language servers.

   

   There was a lengthy discussion on this [1]. UTF-16 was used because it was convenient: it's what Microsoft API's and JavaScript already use (the latter being the language VS Code is written in).

2. Stream

3. python-lsp-server

   2 56 2,277 6.4 Python

   Fork of the python-language-server project, maintained by the Spyder IDE team and the community

   

   I came at the tail end of https://github.com/python-lsp/python-lsp-server/issues/195. The possibility of me sponsoring a fix came up, and I’m on board with it, but the other contributor never replied.

4. rust-analyzer

   3 139 15,265 10.0 Rust

   A Rust compiler front-end for IDEs

   

   Agree this is not a problem. rust-analyzer also includes a boatload of custom extensions. Here's how "query type of selected expression" works, for example:

5. eglot

   4 68 2,391 6.0 Emacs Lisp

   A client for Language Server Protocol servers

   

   Recently I stumbled upon this issue:

   https://github.com/joaotavora/eglot/discussions/1127

   I don't know enough about emacs and LSP to see the full picture, but it seems that both eglot's and corfu's maintainers, assumably very competent programmers, can't find a solution for this.

   I only skimmed the thread. My understanding is that LSP dumps a long list of completion candidates at once and they can't decide a cache strategy that works well with existing code...?

6. company-mode

   5 41 2,241 8.3 Emacs Lisp

   Modular in-buffer completion framework for Emacs

   

   I'm curious to know what `company` does differently here than `corfu`. As a longtime user I couldn't be happier.

10. iceberg

    8 5 137 9.1 Smalltalk

    Iceberg is the main toolset for handling VCS in Pharo. (by pharo-vcs)

    

    The problem with the filesystem is that it privileges organization scheme which isn’t the best one for every editing task. This makes, for example, implementation inheritance hard because your class has a bunch of invisible code in it. But, it you could expand all the superclass methods into a single view and then have edits automatically integrated into the appropriate places, this wouldn’t be as much of a problem.

    Java’s filesystem hierarchy is a great example of a “fileout” format for the sort of environment I’m talking about. Another example here is smalltalk repositories generated by Iceberg: https://github.com/pharo-vcs/iceberg
