if the Lazarus team can implement a LSP plugin for the editor, then we'd have

but language servers don't do any syntax styling so they're only half the
solution. I was also disappointed to learn they don't allow arbitrary
commands that apply text ranges to the editor. That would mean a unified
interface for the countless scripts people write for editors like Sublime
Text. Worst is the "Class Completion" feature in CodeTools can't be
implemented in editors unless Microsoft extends the protocol.
So much for the 'One editor to rule them all' advocates :-)
