I both agree and disagree with this. I was very careful about how I phrased my comment. Languages can gain points by being greppable, and they can gain points by having a well–implemented mode for my favorite editor, and they can also gain points by having a well–implemented language server. They can do all three to gain the most points (and of course there are many other ways to gain or lose points; this is just one tiny aspect of language design), but they don’t have to. And nobody should try to force every language designer to shave the yak of writing an Emacs mode or a Language Server. And sometimes you just want to improve some random piece of software written in a language that you’ve never used before, without having to shave a bunch of yaks to get the language server installed. Sometimes all you have is grep and you’ll want to be able to use it on this weird new language.
