Doesn't the idea of an "LSP for Neovim" mean the entire premise of LSP has failed? Wasn't the whole idea supposedly to put an end to editor-specific plugins in favor of one protocol spoken by all editors?





LSP exposes standard interfaces, but it still has to be bridged across the variety of languages editor plugins are written in. It’s much better than the previous state.

Why is the bridge not "specify where to find the LSP server"?


It is just that. (of course in practice you also need to get the LSP to exist on your system somewhere in the first place and have a command that runs it (rather annoying for java programs), but other than that it's literally just a program with JSON I/O)
