Case in point, Microsoft develops an editor (VSCode) and LSP so that N*M language integrations wouldn't be necessary. But in the development of their language (TypeScript), LSP support is not a priority (in part because LSP is inadequate in its current form): https://github.com/microsoft/TypeScript/issues/39459

> We're working on this, albeit slowly. tsserver's implementation predates LSP so it's nontrivial work to move forward in a way that doesn't adversely affect old clients or result in code duplication.

Good to hear you're still committed. By "not a priority" I mean we have been waiting since this was published back in 2016: "[LSP] also means any developer can have a consistent editing experience for their favorite programming language on any tool – even if that tool isn’t VS Code." https://code.visualstudio.com/blogs/2016/06/27/common-langua...

The original bug against Typescript was opened in 2016 as well: https://github.com/microsoft/TypeScript/issues/11274

Note I merely quoted from the above Github ticket. :)

I see. In that case, possibly replace "you" with "they" in my reply.
