This is pretty much exactly what we've built at Sourcegraph. Microsoft had introduced (but pretty much abandoned before it even started) LSIF, a static index format for LSP servers which encodes in detail all possible LSP requests/responses, effectively.

We took that torch and carried it forward, building the spiritual successor called SCIP[0]. It's language agnostic, we have indexers for quite a few languages already, and we genuinely intend for it to be vendor neutral / a proper OSS project[1].

This is pretty much exactly what I'd imagined, very cool. Is the plan to open source all SCIP indexers?


All of our SCIP indexers are open-source: scip-java (for Java, Kotlin and Scala), scip-typescript (for TypeScript and JavaScript), scip-python, scip-ruby, scip-go and scip-clang (for C and C++).

There are also some community-maintained OSS SCIP indexers. - rust-analyzer: https://sourcegraph.com/github.com/rust-lang/rust-analyzer/-... - scip-zig: https://github.com/zigtools/scip-zig
