Not to knock the Jetbrains Team, but I'd like to see them more excited about the language server protocol. It has the potential to give me a much better default minimum level of support for so many more programming languages that their IDEs would be even More useful to me. Which is good for them. I don't expect them to instantly support things like Rust, or Erlang or Elixir, but I don't expect them to make it any harder for others to suppose these things.

Hopefully they start talking about adding support soon. It's just too good not to.




There were a couple of comments and Reddit threads about this by Alexsey Kladov, one of the maintainer of the Rust plugin for IDEA:

Basically, it's harder than one thinks. Interesting also to note that he believes that Dart's analysis-server design is a stronger and more complete one than the RLS-one in Typescript (he also gives reasons for this statement).
