Author here! Wasn't quite ready to post to HN yet since cquery is still in development, and I plan to eventually publish on the vscode marketplace so using cquery should be as simple as using the existing C/C++ extension. Let me know if you have any questions.
What's the word on using this with emacs?

Wow! I consider myself lucky that I practically do not have to deal with C++, but if I were a C++ kind of person, right now I would deeply appreciate how much hard work goes into a tool like this. [1] In order to be any good, it has to be even more clever than the compiler, at least in a few ways. And I have a hunch that in the field of programming languages that are used these days, C++ is probably not the easiest o…
Although C++ has lots of warts, I still really like the language mainly thanks to the tooling around it. It has had very good IDEs for years and when I see some of the advancements in debuggers and profilers for more modern languages I feel that they are still quite behind. Note that this server is based on libclang. This is good because having a good language support means that you have to practically write a compil…
The first one was from Lucid, after pivoting away from Lisp Machines.

Here is a demo on YouTube.
IBM also tried to create a Smalltalk style repository in Visual Age for C++ v4.0, which has quite resource hungry for mid-90's PCs.
So we had to wait until the idea of compiler as library to catch on, to get those ideas back.

I saw that on Twitter but I couldn't figure out what his actual complaint was. I think I'd probably disagree but I'm still interested in knowing.
That doing all of this stuff via rpcs vs function calls is crazy I believe.
There is a reason why most of us learned our lesson and moved plugins out-of-process.
Performance can still be achieved via shared memory, exposing much less data from the host process.

Any plans for Cmake support?
Is there one similar to this but that doesn't require your code to compile under Clang? I have plenty of projects at home that don't instantly work under Clang. So far, I've never seen any C++ language server that doesn't rely on Clang unfortunately.
I think there is/was some attempt to do it for emacs as well.

Some advice if you do decide to learn C++: there has been a steady stream of improvements in standard C++ the past 8 years (C++11-17), and some (Bjarne Stroustroup, Herb Sutter, others) promote it as a better starting point for beginners under the name 'Modern C++'. From: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh279654.aspx "[...] Over the years, features have been added to the language, together with highly-tested…
I don't mean to dump on C++; I like the language and I take this post as a sign that things are beginning to improve, and I hope this pace of improvement accelerates. However, I have been disappointed by the head-in-the-sand attitude of some proponents.

What are the usual culprits that prevent it from working under clang?
Clang doesn't support template void foo(int x = 0, Args&&... args) for example (default argument before variadic templates args).
