A language server that offers Lua language support - programmed in Lua
...The language server can be configured using a configuration file. The language server and Visual Studio Code client can be installed from the VS Code Marketplace. Check the wiki for a guide to install the language server for use on the command line. This allows the language server to be used with other clients that follow the language server protocol.
Check syntax in Vim/Neovim asynchronously and fix files
...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.
