      With Foundry I want to make LSP management much easier than it currently is in Builder.

      We have the foundry lsp run python3 command where python3 can be replaced with any language for which there is an installed LSP plugin. This will start an LSP using all the abstractions (including cross-container execution) and provide it via stdin/stdout.

• Distributions and Operating Systems

  • BSD

    • FreeBSD ☛ The report of my death was an exaggeration

      I’ve been here at The Foundation for about three months now. During that time, I’ve had a few conversations with businesses using FreeBSD, and interested in using FreeBSD. On more than one occasion, a statement has cropped up that’s made me raise my eyebrows — because it’s not something I see, or even feel. That statement is “isn’t FreeBSD dying?” Wait! What? Why would you even think that? As I’ve picked it apart, I’ve come to a startling conclusion and a very obvious fact. Before we head on this journey together, let me answer the question quickly. No, FreeBSD is not dead, or even dying. Here’s how I know for sure…
