It’s something on my personal wishlist, but have been postponing it 
until after a non-“beta” release because it will require a lot of 
changes/rewriting, as the protocol needs to sync up edits, file renames, 
etc. between LSP server and client, so every place that TextMate may 
change the buffer, it will need to convert that into a JSON-RPC message 
with UTF-16 offsets and send it to the server.

While one could insert such sync code at the lowest level (the buffer 
class), this is not where we want to deal with graphical completion 
menus, file renames, etc. and I would prefer not to have LSP 
communication spread out over multiple components.

There’s a few other things that require rethinking the same 
components, and I’m currently doing a bit of experimentation with 
this. I’m not making any promises or predictions, just letting you 
know what’s currently on my mind.
