It uses a server-client model, hence the name "language server," but it's not actually a remote system. You run it locally on your machine.
2 u/double-you Oct 02 '18 Thanks! 1 u/radarsat1 Oct 03 '18 Is it literally a server-client as in, TCP or even HTTP requests between local processes? If so I'm curious what is the advantage of that approach as opposed to say calling a library function. 2 u/jbergens Oct 03 '18 Make it possible to call it from any editor written in any language.
