With this,a new language can have an IDE integration done easily which can cover say 95% features. Some language specific feature may be obviously left out but getting a minimum viable integration to any supported IDE is a good thing.May be when this protocol evolves,it can give extension to the protocols to cover the other 5% features(or may be it is already there)
- avita1 10y agoAre there any examples of extensible protocols like this in the wild? I'm asking because the only such protocol that seems to get mentioned on HN is XMPP (and always with groans).

- Eridrus 10y agoHeh. We'll see. Writing the glue code is not what makes writing language analysis hard. This is clearly a move to make the lives of IDE writers easier, rather than those who would be writing the analysis code.
- euyyn 10y agoBut it'd make your analysis code work for multiple IDEs and editors instead of having to learn about each's peculiarities. One less thing to worry about is always good.
