Elixirls is finnicky and works 50% of the time in my experience. Don't know why.

Try using Zed it comes with Elixir support out of the box, and uses nextls, which works always for me. Snappy as hell! Like Sublime Text 4.0 https://github.com/elixir-tools/next-ls

NextLS also has an extension for VSCode![1] I've found the ElixirLS works best with the projects I use at work, but there's a lot of exciting language server development in the space.

This did not work for me. I installed the extension on Linux Mint, VS Code Insiders, and intellisense/autocomplete never worked no matter how many times I restarted the editor.

I never got it fully working either - it kept getting stuck on one of my dependencies, which happens to ElixirLS sometimes too.

Next LS author here, thanks for the kind words!
