Could the nim plugin be open sourced?

I’m a nim enthusiast and I am writing to request the open sourcing of the nim plugin, so the community can speed up its development.

I already wrote a ticket, but I’m not sure if anyone is even working on that project and monitoring the tickets.

If it won’t be open sourced, how would you suggest developing a nim plugin with LSP and AI support? I know there are multiple plugin development solutions. Which one do you recommend for this purpose?

There’s an actively maintained language server for Nim: nimlsp. Creating a LSP-based wrapper plugin around that should be very simple. For example, here’s one of mine.

nimlsp says it needs the LSP support plugin, which was retired two years. Do you not use that plugin?

I don’t. LSP-based plugins nowadays use either the native APIs or LSP4IJ. LSP4IJ can be used non-programmatically but the native APIs can’t.
