Howdy folks!

I’ve added a “Motivation” blurb and a “Next LS FAQ” section to the website, hopefully that answers any questions folks have had for why I chose to make a new project rather than contribute to the existing project(s).

Motivation: elixir-tools
Next LS FAQ: elixir-tools

The elixir-tools Update Vol. 4 will be coming out in the next few weeks as well.

Take care!

The elixir-tools Update Vol. 4 has been released!

This is a fun release, because it introduces the beginnings of auto-completions!

Eh, I admit I’m not keen on the audio format. I would love to have that rationale written down somewhere.

And I too am not convinced we need to have more than one language server. Were there really such irreconcilable differences that mandated an entirely new project? What’s wrong with contributing to ElixirLS?

Been switching my work, and personal machine to NextLS and so far it’s been a great experience!

I also wanted to just drop by and say thank you for being one of the largest projects (that I know of!) using Burrito to ship Elixir to end-users. It’s been incredibly valuable in finding bugs and improving compatibility across multiple platforms!

I’m wondering what the rationale is for Next LS or the trade-offs related to ElixirLS? It’s not apparent what’s compelling the development of another Elixir Language Server. This isn’t to say that it’s a pointless effort, just that I don’t understand why, as a possible user, I might care or what I’m missing concerning your effort?

I couldn’t readily see the rationale question answered in answered in the docs, README, etc. so just trying to understand.
