Code-GUI bidirectional editing via LSP(jamesbvaughan.com)

i wonder: could this kind of bidirectional flow be used to turn any LSP-capable editor (without it having to have any collaborative editing function integrated) into a collaborative editor that real-time-syncs any modification by any connected user with all other users who have the modified file open?

Very cool concept. Would love to see something like this for web development. Where making changes in the browser could be persisted seamlessly to code

This stuff is a dream of mine, editors in different modes that can collaborate seamlessly. Keep up the good work!

Whoa … you can use various unicode characters in titles on HN?

I was surprised by this too! I actually did a search for that character in order to check before posting this: https://hn.algolia.com/?q=%E2%87%84

I was a bit concerned that HN's algorithm might down-weight posts with non-ASCII characters in titles to discourage people from trying to attract attention with them, but it seems like it's fine?

So if we replace LSP with MCP, the UI might control the code in interesting ways!

I guess it is about time for the usual Lisp, Smalltalk, Cedar and Oberon remarks.

Why do cool ideas take so much time to be embraced in mainstream?

Retoric question, naturally they weren't VC friendly with exponential growth capitalising user acquisition. /s
