Up-to-date LSP 3.17 support in Go beats outdated alternatives like sourcegraph/go-lsp.

Strengths
  • •Comprehensive 3.17 spec coverage table shows actual implementation status clearly.
  • •Handles JSON-RPC framing and dispatch so you only write language logic.
  • •Includes debug UI and testing helpers specifically for LSP server development.
Weaknesses
  • •Low star count and commit history suggests early stage or limited adoption.
  • •No mention of performance benchmarks compared to existing tliron/glsp alternatives.
Target Audience

Go developers building IDE extensions, language tools, or static analysis servers.

Rune | A spec pattern for consistent AI code generation

Turns fuzzy AI prompts into a lightweight contract: SIGNATURE, BEHAVIOR (WHEN/THEN) and TESTS can be written as .rune YAML or embedded Markdown, letting any model or language generate the same behavior. Clever, low-friction idea with practical utilities (drift detection, reverse-engineer skills), but it’s a pattern rather than a product — adoption will hinge on tooling and CI integrations to make these specs enforceable at scale.
