Really thoughtful critique of the Language Server Protocol, what IDEs need to express, and the design decisions made.

Writing a parser that is resilient to syntax errors, and why a parser should always return something: https://duriansoftware.com/joe/constructing-human-grade-parsers (The latter property is important in e.g. IDEs and it's rarely discussed!)

I'm surprised I've never seen a lisp dialect where it's idiomatic to use trailing parens as you would in C. (foreach car cars (drive car) ) It makes structure very visible when you're trying to add a new expression. IDEs help, but is the ))) density always compelling?
