Why Use Language Server?
[Update]: We recently published our book on the Language Server Protocol and Implementation where we have addressed the aspects of the LSP in depth. You can find the book at Amazon and Apress.
Why IDEs?
I know it isn’t nice to start a post with a question, but just this time let me ask you this. What’s your favorite IDE? When comes to development, I do have an IDE which is my favorite and I am more comfortable working with. Years ago developers used to write their programs with text editors, but with the introduction of IDEs, developers started shifting from conventional text editors to the way more smarter IDEs. With the time, IDEs became the trend among the developers since those helped for
- Productivity
- Ensuring organization wide standards
- Project management
- etc..
With the increased popularity of IDEs, they became more and more sophisticated by introducing advance features such as,
- Auto completion,
- Program diagnostics
- Integrated development tools (servers, build tools)
- Debugging tools
