However, there’s a already a vast amount of editors supporting LSP (see https://langserver.org/#implementations-client <https://langserver.org/#implementations-client> ) and I’m quite sure that investigating some of these implementations would give hints about how to add LSP support to TextMate.

Unfortunately I think there’s quite a lot that needs to be done other than setting up the actual communication with the server. I think TextMate are missing quite a few features. It needs better support for showing error messages, ideally inline. Better autocomplete, with support for documentation. It needs code navigation. Probably a lot more.

I’m definitely interested but I don’t really have any time available.
