Language Server Highlighting

[Licenser]

This is more a tracking ticket - there is a RFC to integrate highlighting into the language server protocol - if this RFC is accepted we could re-use the highlighting we have in tremor-script instead of having to re-implement it in every editor. That would be a huge win I think.

So I'll drop a link to the upstream Issue on it here: microsoft/language-server-protocol#513

yep nice find! I've subscribed to the upstream issue as well.

Adding microsoft/vscode-languageserver-node#367 as a link (that's the related PR)

gluon-lang/lsp-types#127 is the gluon implementation of it :D

Author of tower-lsp here! I think I can implement support for this under a "proposed" feature flag so you could update your language server as well, if you're interested.

EDIT: Opened ebkalderon/tower-lsp#146.

[ebkalderon]

We should be getting semantic highlighting support in the next upcoming release of tower-lsp which brings full LSP 3.16 support, including for semantic tokens. 🎉

EDIT: Release 0.14.0 is now out, so it should theoretically be possible to start developing this feature.

This is really great!!! Thank you so much :)

No worries! I'm sorry for being away for so long. This past year and a half have been pretty happening, to say the least.

No need to be sorry @ebkalderon , it has been hard on all of us. Glad you are still with us and rocking tower-lsp! :)
