But the LSP doesn't expose the AST. It just expose what the editor needs. That looks like the kind of interface RMS was asking for.
- mgraczyk 4y agoSometimes the editor needs the AST, and LSP is general enough that language implementations can expose it. For example https://clangd.llvm.org/extensions#ast https://clangd.llvm.org/extensions#ast
- varajelle 4y agoSure, but the "success of LSP in the recent years" was not because of that extension.
