{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"DiscussionForumPosting","headline":"tsserver should implement the Language Server Protocol ","articleBody":"## Search Terms\r\n\r\nlanguage server protocol\r\n\r\n## Suggestion\r\n\r\n\u003e As the language server protocol ( https://github.com/Microsoft/language-server-protocol ) is getting more and more popularity and clients ( https://github.com/Microsoft/language-server-protocol/wiki/Protocol-Implementations ), it would be very useful to have the tsserver implement this protocol.\r\n\r\nThis is a duplicate of issue #11274, which the OP closed because at that time, there existed two reasonable-looking LSP implementations for TypeScript.\r\n\r\nBut the times have changed. The Theia IDE now uses a VS Code extension for its TypeScript needs, and in the last eighteen months, Sourcegraph's server has received exactly one update by a sentient person.\r\n\r\nThere continue to be requests for LSP support within #11724 despite its Closed status. The OP has expressed no interest in revisiting the issue.\r\n\r\n## Use Cases\r\n\r\nIt would be useful to programmers who use TypeScript but don't use VS Code.\r\n\r\n## Checklist\r\n\r\nMy suggestion meets these guidelines:\r\n\r\n* [x] This wouldn't be a breaking change in existing TypeScript/JavaScript code\r\n* [x] This wouldn't change the runtime behavior of existing JavaScript code\r\n* [x] This could be implemented without emitting different JS based on the types of the expressions\r\n* [x] This isn't a runtime feature (e.g. library functionality, non-ECMAScript syntax with JavaScript output, etc.)\r\n* [x] This feature would agree with the rest of [TypeScript's Design Goals](https://github.com/Microsoft/TypeScript/wiki/TypeScript-Design-Goals).\r\n","author":{"url":"https://github.com/leungbk","@type":"Person","name":"leungbk"},"datePublished":"2020-07-07T02:01:07.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":64},"url":"https://github.com/39459/TypeScript/issues/39459"}
