Implement a Language Server and build an extension for VS Code about pikelet HOT 9 OPEN

I'm guessing things are still in a bit of flux?

Hehe, yeah definitely. We've got some ideas, and we're just toying around, really.

I've started messing around with an extension with basic syntax highlighting on my vscode-extension branch. Not sure about whether we'd want to split this out into a separate repo though.

I'm thinking that it might be good to put the extension and client in a separate repo. This might make it easier to version it independently. But I think we should keep the language server implementation in the main Pikelet repo. Feel free to disagree though, I'm curious to hear what people think!

rust-analyzer seems to put the editor support under an editors directory

Here's a nice example of a language server integration test: lark-exploration/lark#98

@brendanzab thanks for the shoutout -- still trying to figure out a good approach. If you come up with improvements on it, do pass them along 😄

Oh! Sorry for the ping @jonathandturner, but I guess I'm glad it was appreciated! 😅

I've been plugging away at my language server on this branch, you may-or-may not find it interesting. connection.rs is interesting, I've been trying to do a clean job of it, with a view to split it out eventually into some sort of crate.

This also links in with #175, which I'm currently mulling over... I've been trying to figure out how Lark is tackling its top level API, but been having a bit of trouble navigating around it, I'm guessing things are still in a bit of flux?

@jonathandturner What is the best way to contact you in the future? I have a number of Gitter channels:

• https://gitter.im/codespan-rs/Lobby

I'm also on the /r/ProgrammingLanguages discord and IRC, the Rust discords and on Twitter. 🤔

I'm generally on twitter pretty regularly, though I don't post often these days.
