LSP Rant

[Attila Kovacs 634]

This shitty LSP is just the same compiler shoved into a separate thread, making work with the IDE slow as hell, constantly crashing or stuck compiling. It can't even handle code snippets if there's an error somewhere and the compiler can't compile the whole thing, which, as far as I remember, was its main goal. Honestly, the entire thing is a botched piece of garbage that was a complete waste of time to create.

 

This was a huge step towards the world of garbage-tier IDEs.

I agree with you. The LSP simply is unusable on our project and we were forced to write our own IDE plugin and utilize DelphiAST to write our own code insight and code completion. Even in much simply projects I am writing (<10 units, a few hundred lines of code) the code completion, ctrl+click to jump to an identifier, does not work well.

Do you have any plans on releasing that plug-in?

[Dave Novo 52]

Unfortunately, we are not. The company has too many hoops to jump through to get anything out as open source.  Plus we used a lot of our base classes and libraries to speed up the coding, so would have to disentangle that.
