Earlier quoted context omitted.

I can imagine the answer if I were in their shoes. Say I already have something working as a plugin (or know how to make plugins vs. learning from scratch about implementing LSP), I'd rather have this out there as soon as possible and add more tooling/language support in subsequent releases.

If it was just one I would have assumed the same, but Intellij, VSCode, and Neovim..?

From https://pkl-lang.org/blog/introducing-pkl.html#editor-suppor...:

"We are also releasing two other plugins: our VS Code plugin, and our neovim plugin. Today, these plugins only provide basic editing features like syntax highlighting and code folding."

Pkl was built using the GraalVM Truffle framework. So it supports runtime compilation using Futamura Projections. We have been working with Apple on this for a while, and I am quite happy that we can finally read the sources! https://github.com/oracle/graal/tree/master/truffle Disclaimer: graalvm dev here.

I guess you mean Futamura projections?

> We offer plugins and extensions for IntelliJ, Visual Studio Code and Neovim, with Language Server Protocol support coming soon. Why? Why would they not have just done the language server first (or only)? All of those have built-in support for it, so separate implementations wouldn't have been necessary; that's the point . I just don't understand why you'd make that decision on a greenfield project today, especially…

LSPs in vscode suck

I wish people named more tech products after popular media instead of common words. Would make it equally hard to web search, but at least it would be funny for non-techies to listen to
