Re: Postgres Language Server: Initial Release
#2Hey HN!
We have released the initial version of the Postgres Language Server we started working on almost two years ago[0]. You can try it out by downloading the binary from the repo[1]. It is also available on npm, as a vscode extension and via nvim-lspconfig and mason.[2]
We fell into plenty of rabbit holes along the way, but dug our way out of each. We're now using mostly pragmatic, almost naive solutions for our problems.
You can find more details in this blog post.[3]
Try it out and let us know what breaks. Bug reports, ideas, and contributions are all welcome-especially if you want to hack on some Rust.
Last, but not least, we want to give a shoutout to Biome[4]. We spent a lot of time studying their codebase and have been adopting many of their approaches. We wouldn't be here without their work.

For those who don’t read the blog post, I thought this was pretty cool:
> The idea to use tree-sitter in addition to libpg_query came from feedback[0] on our previous HN post, so thank you for that

my pleasure! I had my ide point to the debug build locally for over a year now, and it has been very rewarding to slowly see it mature (as in crash less) during my day job over time.

What does a language server do? Asking for those who missed the memo.
> The Language Server Protocol (LSP) is an open, JSON-RPC-based protocol for use between source code editors or integrated development environments (IDEs) and servers that provide "language intelligence tools":[1] programming language-specific features like code completion, syntax highlighting and marking of warnings and errors, as well as refactoring routines. The goal of the protocol is to allow programming language support to be implemented and distributed independently of any given editor or IDE.[2] In the early 2020s, LSP quickly became a "norm" for language intelligence tools providers.[1]

The Language Server Protocol is essentially a standard for editors to talk to language tooling. All the usual refactor/go-to-definition/auto-complete functionality you expect from a modern IDE is implemented in a language-agnostic way in the editor in terms of calls to the language server, and language servers then provide the actual concrete implementations of that functionality.
IIRC Microsoft defined the spec in the context of creating VS Code, but these days every editor and their uncle supports it (from Vim and Emacs to Sublime Text and even IntelliJ). You can get a solid IDE-like experience for most mainstream-ish languages, and on most editors, through LSP.

thanks for asking! its what provides all language intelligence features in your IDE. so autocompletion, diagnostics, syntax highlighting etc. the postgres language server currently supports autocompletion, syntax error highlighting, type-checking and linting.
