Language tooling
Nexis speaks the same protocols your editor’s language features rely on — LSP for intelligence and DAP for debugging — driven by real language servers and debug adapters, not heuristics.
LSP — language intelligence
Section titled “LSP — language intelligence”Full Language Server Protocol support gives you:
- Go-to-definition
- Hover documentation
- Completion
- Diagnostics (errors and warnings from the real compiler/linter)
A Rust proxy handles protocol negotiation and manages each server’s session lifecycle, so servers start, restart, and shut down cleanly.
LSP also powers editor refactorings — see semantic rename and extract/inline.
DAP — debugging
Section titled “DAP — debugging”The Debug Adapter Protocol integration provides a full debugging experience:
- Breakpoint gutter — click to set and clear breakpoints.
- Step controls — step over, step in, step out, and continue.
- Variable inspector — inspect locals and watch values.
- Call stack panel.
Supported runtimes include Node.js, Python, and LLDB-based languages.
Problems panel
Section titled “Problems panel”The Problems panel gives you a file-grouped list of errors and warnings with filtering, plus a status-bar indicator so you always know the state of the workspace at a glance.
