That will take a long time because plugins [1][2] are written in Rust too, e.g. Go LSP plugin [3][4].

I think VSCode is also moving in the direction of wasi extensions[0], including for its serverside extensions host[1]. So there's a chance we get some of that for free.

That's exciting. While I have some minor gripes about VSCode, it is fine enough. What gets me worried is the plugin ecosystem continually becomes a selling point in which no other editor can compete. I want other editors to be built and have a chance to thrive, but it becomes impossible if all of the good development tools get locked to one program.


From the landing page:

"You can write a plugin for Lapce with any programing language that compiles to WASI."
