Your Official Elixir Expert
summary
Three independent Elixir LSPs (Elixir LS, Next LS, Lexical) are merging into a single official implementation called Expert that combines multi-node architecture, gen_lsp (codegen and process abstraction), the Spitfire resilient parser, a sqlite-powered symbol index, and burrito-packaged single binaries. Downloads so far: Next LS ~38,000, Lexical ~21,000, Elixir LS VS Code installs in the hundreds of thousands, motivating consolidation. Current work starts from Lexical, integrates gen_lsp and async cancellation, then wraps releases with burrito; public release not yet available.
