It's concerning to me that the LSP idea is .. a thing. Casey Muratori observed years ago that it's just a way worse way of doing libraries. Like, you're introducing HTTP where there could just be a function call into a DLL/SO. What's the benefit there? Just make vim/emacs/$editor speak some native protocol and be done with it. Then you GUI is just welded directly into the running editor process.. right??

There's no security risk there that wasn't present before as far as I can tell because you were already planning on running the LSP on your local machine..

What is up with mcp... feels like CORBA

It's like if CORBA and COBOL had a baby :P

Seriously though, it does combine the "RPC IDL" aspect of the former, with the "Use English" aspect of the latter.
