One of the things I was hoping to see in this release was first-class LSP (language server protocol) support.
VS Code's editor is actually available as a separate NPM package as Monaco[0], which is great because it means that you can trivially get LSP support. For example:
^ Sorbet (Ruby type checker) implements the LSP protocol and can be compiled to WASM. So by using Monaco in the browser, we get a playground that supports all the same features as you'd get in VS Code.
It's the same for the TypeScript Playground[1].
There's a lot of great work in this release of CodeMirror. I'm especially excited to see mobile support as a headline feature, because that's completely lacking in Monaco. Maybe LSP support can be a future improvement.
It might be outside the scope of CodeMirror. CodeMirror is not an IDE. Monaco is extracted from one.
Monaco was not extracted from VS Code and predated it by many years.
"Please note that this repository contains no source code for the code editor, it only contains the scripts to package everything together and ship the monaco-editor npm module."
