I’ve been switching between different LSP implementations for Elixir—ElixirLS, Lexical, next-ls—and have been following Expert for a while. Really looking forward to trying it out!
That said, the only thing that feels a bit off to me is the name “Expert.” It comes across slightly arrogant or presumptuous—like it’s implying it’s the only “expert” in the room. Maybe something more neutral would’ve been better?
Still, excited to see what the official tooling brings!
- SwiftyBug 1y agoHow about "Fairly Knowledgeable, Always Humbly Ready to Learn from Others"? FKAHRLO for short.

- lionkor 1y agoIt's not an AI tool. It's an LSP. It is the expert in the room, because it's not a random word generator, not smart, it just follows the rules that the language has.
- atonse 1y agoI found the name to be perfect. Just a little fun. It also goes with the ex-prefix you see in libs sometimes.
- phinnaeus 1y agoHow did you find out about it in the first place? I remember seeing the Elixir blog post announcing the LSP project ages ago and then nothing since then.
- buzzerbetrayed 1y agoDo you frequent elixirforum.com? That’s where the elixir community resides. Jose and Chris post frequently there. As well as maintainers of popular libraries.
- heeton 1y agoYou're overthinking it. I'd rather have interesting than milquetoast.
