Learn By Building: Language Server Protocol

[@lemurza5236]

The best thing that's happened in the past 2 years is TJ becoming a full-time content creator

[@CrazyLuke11]

Heck yeah

[@danielcarloschavesboll5156]

Couldn't agree more. Awesome content.

[@BlakeRogersNS]

Love that you do deep dives into these topics and make them simple!

[@teej_dv]

That's the goal!! Really appreciate the message :)

[@inDefEE]

I am only 35 mins in but this is absolute gold. Not necessarily in terms of the specifics of building an LSP... I mean it's great, but how many of us are actually gonna need to build an LSP from scratch ... but just in terms of problem solving, how to approach learning something, and how to de-mystify a topic. This 2 hour video must have taken your weeks of research and practice. Really appreciate all that hard work and then sharing it with us all.

THIS GUY IS THE BEST TEACHER IN ALL OF INTERMEDIATE TECH KZbinRS

[@blovio]

Absolute facts

[@alikin]

best among INTERMEDIATIES?

[@rodrigolj]

I guess he meant "best teacher for intermediate level programmers on KZbin", but ended up calling TJ a mid teacher 😂

[@alikin]

@@rodrigoljhe literally said that, and what surprised me most, the other comment with "absolute facts."

[@alikin]

Now the question is what's better? best among intermediates or worst among the best?

[@LukasSmith827]

wow this is months worth of work in 2 hours, this is gonna take me so long to finish

[@teej_dv]

just fall asleep to it on repeat (for the watch time metrics plz) LUL

[@trampoline60]

I am in the process of learning Go and this video is pure gold. So jampacked with practical information to get started

[@rabidhamper7]

I enjoy how casually TJ call " " "registered nurse"

[@muonx9649]

true 🤣

[@GokayBURUC]

P.S. : Read The "M.F. ( Most Favorite ) Docs"😁. Everybody thinks TJ is a code magician, but he is an enthusiastic developer. Reads more and produces more. And he teaches us how to solve any problem by developing the problem-solving skills. Some devs take a glance to the title of the video and asks themselves "Hey why i need to write a LSP from scratch?" And the others (like me) taking notes from the TJ's techniques : "How to manage JSON files using GO? Where to find the necessary information about LSP? How to read the official docs for your projects? How to use files which consist of structs in GO language? How to use log files? Thank you TJ for the inspirations.

[@chrishipple4419]

love this. I built a LSP server last year to help validate & format our custom PR body requirements in a markdown file locally rather than waiting on CI. Totally silly project but the point was to learn LSPs.

[@jordanray1537]

Pausing to say you are an incredible teacher. Everything makes perfect sense. You build on previous ideas in a way that helps anyone understand. Brilliant stuff!

[@ВладимирРудавский-ы2в]

There is no way my favourite Vim youtuber has made a video on another thing I'm interested in (using my favorite language as well, wtf)

[@iyousef46]

a few days ago tree-sitter and now an LSP, you are killing it :D

[@twenty-fifth420]

1:05 As someone who has glanced at the treesitter and LSP manuals, I want to say readability of documentation is really essential. I read a lot and I write a lot, so seeing good language is important to me. There is just something about hand written documentation that is also a skill and treat for developers out there. And I say this because my first experience ever with documentation...was Ruby on Rails. I have not quite recovered since.

[@RenteaRadu]

Thank you TJ, I really appreciate this type of content/topics!

[@ev3rybodygets177]

damn teeej out here killing it since going full time. this content is 🔥

[@norman.soetbeer]

What a great video! Often I find myself being overwhelmed when only looking at the final code of some projects on Github. But watching this getting built from scratch with all those explanations and thoughts was really helpful!

[@rubinbhandari124]

Damn the timing. I was looking for a golang project to refresh up on golang and this landed just in time.

[@TaiGroot]

Thanks! I am just about to write one, perfect timing!

[@arlaxia]

I've been waiting for an LSP tutorial like this for Neovim for so long!! It's been a while that I've wanted to know more about LSP and how it works with Neovim, but lacked some of the knowledge to build the server myself. This is perfect, thank you!

[@sudonick-kn5zn]

this is hands down one of the best tutorials, and this is how every tutorial should be like. great work full time content creator that streams btw!

[@ashleyspianoprogress1341]

You are a fantastic teacher. I have an interview coming up for a team that works on LSP for generative AI features and this content is invaluable

[@andrewrush7667]

Thanks! You’ve made switching to Neovim so much easier due to your videos!

[@teej_dv]

Wowowowow!! Thanks so much!!!

[@alexandersemionov5790]

the split personality approach to explain server to neovim communication is great. Very informative and Fun!

[@henriquefigueiredo4077]

This is the video I was expecting to find when I've tried to add some features to Java LSP and I gave up. It was too hard, not the LSP part, but the Java Compile API. Thank you,

[@erjdev]

Super interesting seeing the layers comprising LSPs. Thanks again for the epic videos! Your style is fantastic and easy to follow.

[@sp3ctum]

Oh yes I was just starting to build my toy LSP project! It's going to be written in rust, and I think I'll build a treesitter parser for the language first. This will be very helpful. Also wanted to say thanks for your content! It ignited a passion I had a long time ago and has made my life a lot better.

[@genderender]

omg, this is exactly the kind of video i was hoping existed. i'm not a great dev, and have no idea where to start with a LSP. you're the best tj

[@joseiedo]

I love this channel. Good work TJ!

[@anakinsonone]

After installing quite a few LSPs, I became curious about what exactly an LSP is. So, I opened KZbin, and just as I was about to search 'What is an LSP and how does it work?' I saw this video as my first recommendation. KZbin seems to be reading my mind in real-time.

[@FruchteisMitErdbeer]

Huh, this shows me that go actually seems to be a lot nicer to work with than I expected

[@matez8355]

wtf, crazy high quality content keeps coming out and in topics no one else is or even can teach people like TJ can

[@theondono]

Teej not only told us to RTFM, he also made a video because he knew we’re not going to RTFM anyway. Thanks Teej

[@lallenfrancisl]

I don't think there is a better video on building LSPs on the internet than this

[@mahmoudayoub9168]

Thanks for sharing this, it really helps to see how experienced devs work

[@wesleylewis9140]

Great video man. You made it look so easy and smooth!

[@ghun131]

I need 2 months to learn Go then I'll return to this video. So exciting!!!

[@stefanalecu9532]

You could learn enough Go to be able to get the gist of what's going on and at the same time rewrite it using your preferred language, the same concepts apply

[@hharcont]

I was just looking for this, thank you so much Neovim Jesus!

[@sp3ctum]

He died for our vims 😂

[@joseph0x45]

@@sp3ctumI laughed at this a little bit too much xD

[@sp3ctum]

@@joseph0x45 ikr I have been laughing at it all day myself 🤣

[@ibzih]

Such a great video, not only for LSP basics itself but also the Go learning aspect of it too. Thanks for the content :D

[@catalinvoineag6344]

Please do more of these! They are great explainers :)

[@kcin4206]

couldn’t agree more with the first sentence. great video 👍

[@droid806]

Man, I always fall asleep during your streams, but these presentations... Oh yeah, they're literally becoming part of World Heritage now.

[@tobiasweyer5063]

Just the perfect timing! I was looking into LSPs and also want to learn more GO. THX TJ.

[@dmitrygronsky2832]

That is pure gold, thank you TJ. Keep it up man!

[@alexmeta6314]

Great content! Is it possible to create a language server or, alternatively, connect to a language server from a web-based code editor?

[@maximofernandez196]

I'm happy I actually learned more of htmx reading that friendly manual that I could ever do watching a yt video. And you know what? I'm gonna read the unfriendly and scary manual and actually learn how to make an http server

[@ForeverZer0]

Very helpful video. I have project making my own toy language for learning/hobby purposes, and was soon going to dive into making an LSP for it, so this video will be helpful as a resource to come back to when I start it in earnest.

[@francescarpi]

Thank you so much for this video. I learned a lot, and I'm excited to start tinkering with my own LSP.

[@arbitrandomuser]

I'm watching this video at 0.25x so i get to view that magnificent shirt longer.

Amazing stuff TJ, a little confused on how to setup the lsp attachment for markdown, specifically the require("tj.lsp"), whats in that file?

[@popplestones886]

I just left it as a blank function on_attach = function() end and i can add whatever later in there. And it's working.
