Hmm, that’s unfortunate. It depends on which language those projects are written in, but for TextMate which is implemented in C++ and Objective-C++ there’s clangd [1]. I have not used it myself though so I don’t know how good it is. There’s also SourceKit-LSP [2], which is an LSP server for Swift and C-based languages. It uses clangd under the hood for the C-based languages. I don’t know if it’s any better than plain clangd.

For testing the client you could try the LSP server that Visual Studio Code uses for C# or TypeScript. I would expect those to be top notch, since they’re heavily prompted by Microsoft.

langserver.org <http://langserver.org/> has a list of LSP server implementations as well [3].

Yeah, I can imagine.

Not sure if you want/need it but there’s a Swift library, SwiftLSPClient [4], for communicating with LSP servers. It’s used by the Chime text editor [5], a Go editor for macOS.

Perhaps it’s too soon to start discussing, but clangd supports some useful extensions to the LSP protocol [6]. I’m mostly thinking of the UTF-8 offsets. Code completion scores would be nice to have as well.
