[ANN] Release of ocaml-eglot 1.0.0 Hi everyone! We (at Tarides ) are particularly pleased to announce the first release of OCaml-eglot , An overlay on Eglot (the built-in LSP client for Emacs) for editing OCaml! Github repository Package on MELPA Features list Installation procedure Comparison tabl…

Yesterday I spent a nice afternoon integrating all of the functionality of ocaml-eglot into my emacs config, and I’d just like to share how nice the experience was. Everything worked just as I expected, the operations are easily composed, and working with the search, construction, and deconstruction…

The main reason being, as you point out, that yes, Eglot is shipped by default with Emacs since 29.1 (Which seems to me to be a valid reason, doesn’t it? After all, I know that @lambda_foo has had convincing experiences with Lsp-mode).

Is it possible to use ocaml-eglot without dune ? P.S. It’s difficult to actually understand what ocaml-eglot is from your announce.

I love that it’s built on top of eglot and flymake. As an Emacs user, I don’t want to shadow built-in stuff that works fine with third-party alternatives.

P.S. It’s difficult to actually understand what ocaml-eglot is from your announce. Arf! Sorry about that! OCaml-eglot is a minor mode, Emacs, which is an alternative to Merlin mode, but uses the OCaml LSP Server rather than the OCamlmerlin Server. The main aim is to standardize clients across mu…

[image] xvw: I hope that’s clearer? Yes. Thank you very much. Out of curiosity. Any comments on the politics between the teams (if different ?) between the merlin project and the ocaml-lsp-server ? Are both project expected to continue separately or is merlin merging into ocaml-lsp-server or…

The two projects are jointly maintained (and share contributors) and will evolve together, but Merlin is an LSP dependency.

Late last year I started hacking with the goal of writing elisp to call the experimental capabilities that ocaml-lsp-server exposes and integrating that with lsp-mode rather than eglot. Why because I was using lsp-mode for other languages (Rust, Haskell and C++) so it made sense. Plus merlin-mode an…

It’s definitely a very interesting point and I imagine that we can mutualize the fundamental code of ocaml-eglot, for example in a dedicated library to describe ocaml-eglot and ocaml-lsp-mode (?) with the most common code? In any case, it’s a project that deserves a collaborative boost!

just curious, is there a specific reason eglot was chosen instead of lsp-mode, other than the fact that eglot is shipped by default with recent emacs?
