Medium-term, I think there's a risk of Sublime falling away if it does not become a good client for the nascent "Language Server" ecosystem.
There are a few attempts at doing a client as a normal 3rd party package, but to be of the slickness that Sublime has established as its differentiator, I suspect it needs to added in-house.
- alfonsodev 9y agothat's very interesting, I was starting to feel bad about "wasting" my time reading a vent but this comment made it worth. Thanks. From the Readme, here is a blog post[1] explaining what Language Server is.

- jhanschoo 9y agohttp://langserver.org/ http://langserver.org/ This page says that SL3 already has good support for language server through a plugin.
- frou_dh 9y agoThe package referenced on there is a very new one. It remains to be seen whether it's possible for it to graduate to non-flakiness within the confines of Sublime's plugin API. Remember, a single LS Client needs to work well for ALL languages that have servers. It should be seamless. Sourcegraph, who operate that site, took a run at doing a LS Client package for Sublime and it's been effectively abandoned for over a year.
