  8. LSP: Language Server Protocol
    The Language Server Protocol defines the protocol used
    between an editor or an IDE and a language server that
    provides language features like auto complete, go to
    definition, find all references, etc.

  11. Language Servers in Scala lang
    ● Dragos-vscode-scala
    ● Metals
    ● Dotty LS
    ● SBT server (since SBT 1.x)

    View Slide

  12. Editors/IDEs supporting the LSP
    ● IntelliJ
    ● Eclipse IDE
    ● VS code
    ● Atom
    ● Sublime Text 3
    ● vim8/neovim
    ● Emacs
    See ls.org and ms.lsp for the latest on adoption.

  13. Metals @scalameta

    View Slide

  14. Metals
    Works with: vs-code, atom, vim, Sublime text 3, Emacs.
    Uses BSP to communicate LS and build tools.
    “Our goal in Metals is to support code navigation with as low
    CPU and memory overhead as possible without sacrificing
    rich functionality.”

  17. Metals v0.7.6 - Thorium
    ● Automatic import build for Gradle, Maven and Mill
    ● Auto-fill option to case classes and functions
    ● Code completions on keywords
    ● Deduce values for named parameters completion
    ● Compilation explorer
    ● Add support for Scala 2.13 and JDK 11

  18. SemanticDB
    ● Portable semantic APIs
    ● Data schema for semantic information about code.
    ● Relevant for developer tools.
    ● Protobuf, JSON, SQL.
    ● Do not require a running compiler.

  19. BSP: Build Server Protocol
    ● Extends LSP
    ● Formalizes interaction between editors, LS, editors, build
    tools
    ● Bidirectional notifications,
    ● Client/server architecture.
    ● Clients are build tools, LS and editors/IDEs.
    ● Language agnostic.
    ● JSON-RPC-protobuf.

  20. Bloop
    ● sbt, Maven, Gradle and Mill.
    ● IntelliJ and Metals (VS Code, Sublime, vim and Atom)
    ● Provides fast compile, test and run
    ● Has a built-in command-line tool
    ● Integrates with most JVM build tools
    ● Supports JVM, Scala.js and Scala Native

  25. Pants
    ● Source based dependency tool
    ● Aims to large code bases
    ● Monorepo environments
    ● Fast
    ● Scalable
    ● dependency inference from source-code imports

  26. Bazel (v1.0)
    ● Reproducible builds
    ● Fast and correct builds
    ● Heavy caching
    ● Enforces build correctness

  27. TL;DR
    Tools that work with my editor => LSP
    Build integrations => BSP
    Navigation => SemanticDB, TASTy
    Refactoring => scalafix
    Diagnostics => BSP + LSP
