Isn't a language server an engine custom built for a particular language?

For the languages they supported back then, they have been [almost] as good 10 years ago as they are today. The step seem really huge if there still is nothing nearly catching up.
- e3bc54b2 5y agoIDEA has wicked refactoring abilities. If I rename a class, it will find all the functions whith input param of this class and ask to rename them as well. It can identify class references from plain strings. This is useful at least in Java where xmls reference classes or testdata comes from another variable. The last one may be personal subjective bias, but auto complete options are always spot on, heavily affected by context and recent selection, while LSP auto complete suggestions while good, are a rough estimate of what I want.
