Verible
Verible is a suite of SystemVerilog developer tools
The Verible project's main mission is to parse SystemVerilog (IEEE 1800-2017) (as standardized in the SV-LRM) for a wide variety of applications, including developer tools. It was born out of a need to parse un-preprocessed source files, which is suitable for single-file applications like style-linting and formatting. In doing so, it can be adapted to parse preprocessed source files, which is what real compilers and toolchains require. The spirit of the project is that no-one should ever have to develop a SystemVerilog parser for their own application, because developing a standard-compliant parser is an enormous task due to the syntactic complexity of the language. Verible's parser is also regularly tested against an ever-growing suite of (tool-independent) language compliance tests. A lesser (but notable) objective is that the language-agnostic components of Verible be usable for rapidly developing language support tools for other languages. -

LTEX LS
LTeX Language Server: LSP language server for LanguageTool
LTEX LS (LTEX Language Server) implements a language server according to the Language Server Protocol (LSP) and provides grammar and spelling errors in markup documents (LATEX, Markdown, etc.). The documents are checked with LanguageTool. Typically, you start the language server (either locally or remotely), you send the language server your LATEX or Markdown document, and it will respond with a list of the grammar and spelling errors in it. To use LTEX LS in this way, you have to use a language client (usually an editor or an extension of the editor) that communicates with LTEX LS according to the LSP. However, it is also possible to supply LTEX LS paths to files and directories to be checked as command-line arguments. In this mode, LTEX LS will print the results to standard output, and no language client is necessary. -

Elixir Language Server
A frontend-independent IDE "smartness" server for Elixir
Implementing features such as auto-complete or go-to-definition for a programming language is not trivial. Traditionally, this work had to be repeated for each development tool and it required a mix of expertise in both the targeted programming language and the programming language internally used by the development tool of choice. The Elixir Language Server (ElixirLS) provides a server that runs in the background, providing IDEs, editors, and other tools with information about Elixir Mix projects. It adheres to the LSP, a standard for frontend-independent IDE support. Debugger integration is accomplished through a similar VS Code Debug Protocol. These pages contain all the information needed to configure your favorite text editor or IDE and to work with the ElixirLS. You will also find instructions on how to configure the server to recognize the structure of your projects and to troubleshoot your installation when things do not work as expected. -

Swift Package Manager Project
The package manager for the Swift Programming Language
The Swift Package Manager is a tool for managing distribution of source code, aimed at making it easy to share your code and reuse others’ code. The tool directly addresses the challenges of compiling and linking Swift packages, managing dependencies, versioning, and supporting flexible distribution and collaboration models. We’ve designed the system to make it easy to share packages on services like GitHub, but packages are also great for private personal development, sharing code within a team, or at any other granularity. Swift Package Manager includes a build system that can build for macOS and Linux. Starting with Xcode 11, Xcode integrates with SwiftPM to provide support for including packages in iOS, macOS, watchOS, and tvOS applications. The SourceKit-LSP project leverages libSwiftPM and provides Language Server Protocol implementation for editors that support LSP. -

ALE
Check syntax in Vim/Neovim asynchronously and fix files
ALE is an asynchronous linting and fixing engine for Vim and Neovim that keeps feedback flowing without blocking your editor. It runs external linters and formatters in the background as you type or save, streaming diagnostics into the sign column and statusline. The project focuses on breadth and practicality: dozens of languages work out of the box, and configuration is usually a matter of selecting tools you already use on the command line. ALE can also act as a lightweight Language Server Protocol client, providing go-to-definition, hover, and code actions through LSP servers when available. Its fix-on-save pipelines and formatter integration help enforce team style guides reliably and repeatably. For large codebases and slower linters, ALE’s job queueing and smart debouncing prevent UI hiccups while still surfacing timely results. -

D Language Server
A Language Server implementation for D
This is still a work in progress; there might still be bugs and crashes. DLS implements the server side of the Language Server Protocol (LSP) for the D programming language. It doesn't do much itself (yet), and rather uses already available components, and provides an interface to work with the LSP. DLS is usable using FreeBSD's Linux binary compatibility system (tested on FreeBSD 12.0-RELEASE). Code completion, going to the symbol definition, finding references, symbol renaming. Error checking, code formatting (document, range and on-type), symbol listing (current document and workspace-wide). Symbol highlighting, documentation on hover, random, frustrating crashes. -

Eclipse GLSP
Graphical language server platform for building web-based diagram
The Graphical Language Server Platform (GLSP) is an extensible open-source framework for building custom diagram editors based on web technologies. Alongside an extensible client framework and a server framework, GLSP provides a language server protocol (LSP) for diagrams. With that, GLSP enables the development of modern, web-based diagram editors, whereas the heavy lifting, such as loading, interpreting, and editing according to the rules of the modeling language, is encapsulated in the server. GLSP provides integration layers, to use GLSP editors seamlessly in web pages, Eclipse Theia, VS Code and even Eclipse desktop. GLSP provides the perfect basis for the efficient development of web-based diagram editors including edit functionality, layouting, shapes, palettes and everything else you expect from a powerful, modern diagram editor. GLSP doesn't hide the underlying rendering technologies, such as Eclipse Sprotty, SVG, and CSS. -

JupyterLab LSP
Coding assistance for JupyterLab (code navigation + hover suggestions
Hover over any piece of code; if an underline appears, you can press Ctrl to get a tooltip with function/class signature, module documentation or any other piece of information that the language server provides. Critical errors have red underline, warnings are orange, etc. Hover over the underlined code to see a more detailed message. Use the context menu entry, or Alt + 🖱️ to jump to definitions/references (you can change it to Ctrl/⌘ in settings); use Alt + o to jump back. Place your cursor on a variable, function, etc and all the usages will be highlighted. When a kernel is available the suggestions from the kernel (such as keys of a dict and columns of a DataFrame) are merged with the suggestions from the Language Server (in notebook). If the kernel is too slow to respond promptly only the Language Server suggestions will be shown (default threshold: 0.6s). You can configure the completer to not attempt to fetch the kernel completions if the kernel is busy. -

LunarVim
An IDE layer for Neovim with sane defaults
LunarVim is an opinionated, extensible, and fast IDE layer for Neovim >= 0.5.0. LunarVim takes advantage of the latest Neovim features such as Treesitter and Language Server Protocol support. LunarVim ships with a sane default config for you to build on top of. Features include autocompletion, integrated terminal, file explorer, fuzzy finder, LSP, linting, formatting and debugging. Just because LunarVim has an opinion doesn't mean you need to share it. Every built-in plugin can be toggled on or off in the config.lua file. This is the place to add your own plugins, keymaps, autocommands, leader bindings and all other custom settings. LunarVim lazyloads plugins wherever possible to maximize speed. Disabled plugins also will not decrease speed due to the plugin list being compiled with only the active plugins. This strategy allows LunarVim to not have to choose between features and speed. -
