How do I plumb this precise code jumping into vim?

My tags files just don’t seem to cut it any more.

The most straightforward option would probably be to write an LSP wrapper around the stack graphs code. One of the people on my team wrote a very “contrib directory” version of that for internal testing, which lets us test our stack graph rules for a new language in something like VS Code before deploying to production. If someone were to write a more polished version of that, that would be a great way to get code nav into any LSP-compatible editor for any language that supports stack graphs.

If that is open-source, could you please share a link to it?

I'm curious what advantages this "stack-graphs LSP wrapper" has over existing language-specific LSP servers for an editor/IDE, maybe lower memory usage or better performance?

NeoVim has Tree-sitter and Language Server integration. I couldn't make it work for me, bit lots of people really love it!

If you haven't tried again recently the neovim team has done a ton of work updating the documentation on nvim-lspconfig [1]. There's also projects like kickstart.nvim [2] which aim to provide a very simple starting point for new users. It's "batteries-included" neovim which notably includes LSP, TreeSitter, completion engines, and some basic git functionality.

Jump over to neovim with built-in lsp + treesitter .. and enjoy :)

(happy to help clarify setup/configuration)
