LSP client in Clojure in 200 lines of code

I wrote a small LSP client, it was kinda neat so I’m sharing it

So let’s just say I kept things simple for illustrative purposes, and spawning one more virtual thread to compute and send a response to the server is left as an exercise for the reader :D We issue a blocking initialize call, and tell the server our process id (so it can exit if we die before stopping it), which directory is the project root, and what are our capabilities. Defold LSP support is much more complex than our toy implementation because a text editor needs to manage the whole zoo of language servers, each with it’s own lifecycle, initialization process and capabilities.
