I’ve been switching between different LSP implementations for Elixir—ElixirLS, Lexical, next-ls—and have been following Expert for a while. Really looking forward to trying it out! That said, the only thing that feels a bit off to me is the name “Expert.” It comes across slightly arrogant or presumptuous—like it’s implying it’s the only “expert” in the room. Maybe something more neutral would’ve been better? Still, e…

You're overthinking it. I'd rather have interesting than milquetoast.

What does "official" mean? Is it an official elixir-language project? I don't see Jose Valim as one the contributors.

“Official” means built by the creators of Elixir itself

Elixir has more contributors than just Jose (though he is the OG / creator / leader)

How did you find out about it in the first place? I remember seeing the Elixir blog post announcing the LSP project ages ago and then nothing since then.

Do you frequent elixirforum.com? That’s where the elixir community resides. Jose and Chris post frequently there. As well as maintainers of popular libraries.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Wouldn't it make more sense to have a single MCP -> LSP adapter rather than having each LSP implement it?

Makes sense, except: 1. too many layers and worse DX 2. harder realtime updates

Have you tried Todewave? By far the best DX I’ve seen

As with my comment in another tree, no, none of the Elixir core team or Dashbit employees are directly involved with this effort, though they may be advising informally and will likely submit a PR here and there.

Here's a blog post a year ago announcing the merge of 3 LSP projects into an official one: https://elixir-lang.org/blog/2024/08/15/welcome-elixir-langu...
