Excited to see this after the blog post a year ago – I didn't realize they were working out in the open, because I was wondering how that project was going.
Any news on when we can start to use it in our editors?

“Official” means built by the creators of Elixir itself Elixir has more contributors than just Jose (though he is the OG / creator / leader)
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. https://dashbit.co/#team https://elixir-lang.org/development.html#team https://github.com/elixir-lang/expert/graphs/contributors
I'm a bit surprised by that. Isn't an LSP for a language like Elixir a close integration with the runtime, compiler, etc?

#44Woo super excited for this. Is anyone working on the official vscode extension so we don't have to build and hook that up ourselves, or is that up for grabs still?

In an ideal world, yes, my belief is that that produces the best results.

I followed the zed instructions and now I don't get any output anywhere. Almost as if it just stopped working.

I've been using it on Zed since they added support (changed changed my LSP for Elixir to be expert, it autoloaded it). It's been a bit unstable so I'm not surprised you're not seeing anything, you can check the status of running LSPs and restart them manually. I've had to do that too often to like working with it so I plan to switch back and wait a few more weeks to try it again.
