Providing a language server (LSP)

[Artees]

It would be nice to have some integration with LSP-compatible text editors for syntax highlighting, autocompletion of ingredients, syntax validation, etc. It would be more universal than addons for Sublime and VSCode.

@Artees that's an interesting idea! I'm not really familiar with these servers. How does it run? Should this server be part of language package for IDE or CLI?

[Artees]

@dubadub it could be part of the CLI or a separate CLI. You configure an IDE to run the language server and they communicate using JSON-RPC.

Nice, I'm wondering what text editors we can onboard with that feature?
