Elixir Language Expert 😉

https://github.com/elixir-lang/expert Official Elixir Language Server Protocol implementation

Not sure what we should do yet. New package or just an option?
Haven't spent the time to figure out what needs to be done to use the new server.

@rchl what would you suggest?

Our convention when creating LSP-* packages is to create packages named after the server name, not the language name. So since the official server is called expert, that would warrant a new LSP-expert package.

Mixing two different servers in a single package sounds messy. For example the settings are likely different for each so that would be confusing.

@princemaple Nice, thanks. Have you tried it? Is it already usable?

BTW; I''ve been looking into setting up a LSP-expert project. The problem is that they have a single release called "nightly" which they update every night with a new build. Since the tag name never changes, it's difficult to track which version we have installed locally and determine whether the server should be upgraded. Perhaps we should wait until they start publishing actual releases before setting the project up.

I haven't tried it. I'm on Windows. I see there is a Windows build and there is this issue expert-lsp/expert#89.

I agree that we probably wait till a real release is made then we get to work.

As you might imagine, I did not have much time to work on this. ^^;

[princemaple]

No worries at all. I just wanted to share the news ;)

It'd probably need to be a separate repo anyway as suggested.
