[Suggestion] use lsp-bridge to make completion #98

nesteiner commented 2 years ago

in emacs china, there is a dude developing a very fast lsp client https://github.com/manateelazycat/lsp-bridge
it is pretty cool, I think you should take a try.
I notice that there is a feature for completion, why not try lsp-bridge to complete julia code ? :yum:

The idea of integrating Snail with LSP has come up before, and I don't understand it. LSP requires running an additional server and additional setup on the Emacs side. For lsp-bridge, it seems to also require Python. What value does LSP add relative to Snail itself? I saw a discussion about lsp-bridge on Reddit earlier, and while it looks cool, its main selling point seems to be performance. I don't find Snail's completion slow, especially since it delegates nearly all the work to the completion mechanism built into Julia's native REPL.

python is for develop core of lsp-bridge, if you want to add language support, please look at langserver, there are so many example. I think you can add language support for julia
