Hey thanks for the info, Firstly I would be interested in helping to make this happen. It would be awesome to able to easily create language servers in python, and...

I see, I was thinking that was up to the specfic language implementation as I'm not entirely sure how that could be done in a generic way. When implementing my...

Syntax highlighting is an interesting one. Vscode uses textmate grammers as it main highlighting engine and then supports additional semantic syntax highlighting via the language server protcol. I'm not sure...

I've create the example vscode language server extension. It uses the lark json error reporting example to provide json syntax errors on files with the `lark-json` language mode. Hopefully the...

I think it might be helpful to define an example DSL grammar (something with a little bit of complexly to make autocompletion interesting) and attempt to implement all our desired...
