> Maybe? Editors tend to be an afterthought for most companies; JetBrains is the only company I can think of that is big on the LSP and for whom the editor is a primary experience.
I have some thoughts:
- I think there will be more. At the very least, I suspect there is a reasonable chance Apple/XCode would eventually adopt LSP.
- Realistically, there aren't that many browser engines either. There's really just two truly distinct browser engines, and really only one of them is the main product of the company that produces it. Arguably there are already more distinct text editor engines that have LSP clients built-in today: Neovim, VSCode/Monaco, Visual Studio, IntelliJ IDEA, Eclipse, Zed, and probably more I'm not thinking of.
- I think that it is likely LSP clients will continue to appear in more places. In "cloud compute" UIs for things like serverless functions, inside of code forge's built-in editors, and so forth. It's not that it's necessarily that it's so easy to do it well, it's more that the value:effort ratio of doing it is pretty great, and every time someone develops a new high-quality LSP, it gets even better.
