Ask HN: Elixir LSP doesn't work on VSCode and Neovim. Any solutions?
I have tried installing Elixir+Erlang through Homebrew (as instructed by the official Elixir website): https://elixir-lang.org/install.html#macos
I also tried uninstalling them and installing through ASDF and I made sure that they both had the same version (27) as mentioned in this article: https://elixir-ko.github.io/install.html
This Issue mentions that Elixir may be incompatible with the most recent OpenSSL versions, but I don't want to downgrade OpenSSL: https://github.com/erlang/otp/issues/4577#issuecomment-925962048. Also: https://elixirforum.com/t/elixirls-cannot-connect-to-server-in-vscode/55345/8
I also did every tip mentioned on the Github page of the Elixir LSP: https://github.com/elixir-lsp/elixir-ls?tab=readme-ov-file#troubleshooting
Several hours later, I still can't use the Elixir LSP in VSCode. This is the error I keep getting:

Vue 3.3.6 Faster Thanks to WeakMaps
No. Not even close. But it's getting better.
There are currently two worth mentioning:
ElixirLSP: https://github.com/elixir-lsp/elixir-ls
Elixir tools: https://www.elixir-tools.dev/
ElixirLSP is the older project, and has been around for a while. It does a lot, but has had sporadic issues over the years. Things like the debugger are a dog to get working, and the server itself will occasionally run into issues where it just doesn't want to work. It's always sort of focused on a subset of language server features, so don't expect much in the way of inline corrections. But it's got the essentials, formatting, basic linting, type hinting, on demand documentation, and primitive reference navigation
Elixir tools is a new up and comer, written by Mitchell Hanberg. It's aiming to be a more complete lsp, and has plugins in its "ecosystem" for most editors. Features have been arriving rapidly, starting with things like inline corrections and far more reliable linting, and recently growing autocomplete. One of the main selling points is the elixir-tools backend is a self contained binary, so it can mostly work independent of system Elixir/Erlang version, which was a frequent tripping point for ElixirLSP
Personally I use both at the same time, but plan to move to tools only when it's got all the features I need

Lightweight dev tools.
I decided I can live without elixir-ls when couching in return for having a usable editor. When the plugin ecosystem and documentation matures I can see myself switching to using Lapce for my primary editor.

GNU Debugger "GDB" Adds Support For Microsoft's Debug Adapter Protocol
Hi! I've compiled gdb from master and installed it. When I run gdb -i dap, I get JSON-RPC, so it looks like it's working, but I'm lost as to where to go from here. Does your change enable me to use a tool like https://github.com/elixir-lsp/elixir-ls with GDB now, right? How might I use them together? What would be required to then have GDB debugging over DAP from inside Emacs?
