On “Which language (programming or otherwise) do you think currently lacks an LSP”

Explaining rust analyzer is a great resource. Many useful insights even beyond rust. His blog and the rust-analyzer blog is also great. The haskell lsp library seems pretty cool, but I have not taken a deep look at it. It looks like it contains a number of useful abstractions for implementing LSPs in general. You can take a look at my work that uses the ocaml-lsp library, but there still are many bugs in this implementation. It is based on the LSP that is part of the asai compiler diagnostics library
