A semester of Haskell-language-server: an internship report

I don’t think GP’s point was that you have to use an LSP server to write serious projects. Rather, the quality of LSP support is rapidly becoming a good proxy for the overall state of tooling for a language (and, arguably, good tooling is a good indicator of suitability for large projects)

That out of the way, I would suggest that you do give LSP a try. The beauty of LSP is that it doesn’t care what editor you’re using, so you can just use lsp-mode and get going.

Oh I have tried it. I didn't use it much, and it made it even more clear that the minutiae of reading and writing code is nowhere near a bottleneck.

What makes something suitable? The tooling and language servers around Python are atrocious, but it is nevertheless very widely used (including among academics, arguably one of the more serious fields. Of course it also generally produces absolutely garbage code, but I don't think that's the tooling's fault).
