Background

We have made the extension available from v2.25.0 as part of #768 / #1210

This represents an initial stage, to gather feedback and gauge interest in web extensions generally, but it only provides syntax highlighting via static grammar, no code intelligence, such as

  • autocompletion
  • formatting
  • hover
  • go-to-definition
  • go-to-references
  • symbol outline
  • etc.

Proposal

  • Better understand potential/interest through telemetry data
    • how many active users use the extension on the web?
    • talk to users who do use it on the web - in what context do they use it?
    • is there a use case which cannot be (easily) covered by Codespaces w/ hosted LS on the backend?
  • Explore how much effort would it be to build the language server for WASM and make it available in the browser that way
