LSP Server

[pidgeon777]

First of all, congratulation on the project.

It would be great for nvc to also act as an LSP server.

Any plan for the future?

I've thought about this before and I think it would be a useful feature. But right now I'm focussing on improving VHDL-2008 support and maybe basic Verilog after that.

Hopefully, it will be implemented one day.

It would be an extremely useful feature to have, especially in modern IDEs (for example, Visual Studio Code, Neovim...).

Going to convert this to a discussion as I don't have plans to add this any time soon and a language server requires quite a different type of parser that can cope gracefully with partial input. In the meantime there is rust_hdl which is a dedicated VHDL language server.
