This looks really neat and handy especially the type annotations part. I always got frustrated when accidentally putting the wrong type into a column.
How's the Language Server support for this? Last time I tried ZLS, it was quite well rounded so I am curious to know if this type annotations would work with it or not. Would be really cool if they do.
I have never been able to fully adopt zig due to how frustrating working with strings is but I absolutely loved the comptime functionality.
- xmorse 4y agoZLS currently does not run any comptime code as far as i know It would be cool to have an official Zig language server that can do it
- Tiberium 4y agoI think the only real way you can run make a language server understand comptime code is using the compiler as a library, similar to how Nim does it - nimsuggest (the tool for autocompletion, definitions, etc) is basically the compiler itself with some nimsuggest-specific stuff, so it understand macros, templates, compile time code evaluation, etc.
- gpderetta 4y agoIsn't that's how most LSP servers are implemented? I'm only vaguely familiar with clangd.
- lillecarl 4y agoIt's moving in that direction, but far from all are based on their compiler still.
- ranfdev 4y agoYes. An LSP has to work along with the compiler, or it has to become an alternative compiler. For example, from the article "Why LSP?" [1] "It is known that compilers are complicated, and a language server is a compiler and then some."

- Shadonototra 4y agofrom what i understood, that is what they are planning to do, have an official built in language server
- Sphax 4y agozls doesn't support this unfortunately. I don't know what the plans are for comptime support.
