With the LLVM Developers Meeting coming up, would people be interested
in a BoF so that people interested in Clangd could discuss? It could
cover some discussions about goals, challenges, architecture,
collaboration, etc. It would be a good occasion for new people in the
community (like me!) to meet face to face and align with others. Let
me know what you think.

Good idea! Are you going to set it up?
Yes, it looks like paper submission is closed but I'll contact the
program committee directly. If anyone else is interested, please
mention it so we have a idea of the attendance

Here is the draft of the abstract I submitted:
Clangd: A new Language Server Protocol implementation leveraging Clang
Clangd is a new tool developed as part of clang-tools-extra. It aims
at implementing the Language Server Protocol, a protocol that provides
IDEs and code editors all the language "smartness". Work in this area
is only just beginning however there is already a large interest
surrounding it. This BoF session will be a nice opportunity for the
attendees to get to know each other as well as discuss several topics
that will help make this tool a success.
Possible agenda/topics:
- Introductions
- Goals and scope of Clangd
- Existing language server implementations. Comparisons,
advantages/disadvantages, etc.
- Challenges
- Proposed architecture
- Collaborations and planning
Keep in mind that this is just a proposal and it will need to be
reviewed and accepted. But I thought I'd share it early anyway
Cheers,
Marc-André
The proposal was accepted!
I'm very much looking forward to meeting everyone interested in this subject
Cheers,
