Your argument basically boils down to "I am cooler than you because I have worked on larger specs". The fact that there are hilariously larger documents doesn't offer any perspective on whether you need 300 pages to describe how to color source code in a text editor.

But good for you! Here's a very tiny award.

In all seriousness, I do have a point. I’ve read enough documentation to know the size of LSP’s documentation is what I would expect for something of that complexity.

The author’s surprise speaks more to their unfamiliarity with projects at this scale than anything special about LSP.

And I had to be sarcastic about it. That’s why I had :) at the end of my comment.

As far as being cooler, I’m not. If anything the author is way cooler. I’m just a random snarky dog on the internet. :)

I pulled up a random section and saw a method the editor sends right before a save so that the lsp can do format on save. I think format on save is pretty handy. Would you cut it?

(There's two methods, one with a timeout. In an ideal world maybe that would be one but I totally understand how initially they maybe assumed format on save would always be reasonably quick and then had to backtrack)
