Locking Neovim when I press tab, crashes of all kind, LspRestart +failing. Also I like my linting and formatting done by dedicated tools such as +[nvim-lint][nvim-lint] and [formatter][formatter]. + +[nvim-lint]: https://github.com/mfussenegger/nvim-lint +[formatter]: https://github.com/mhartington/formatter.nvim + +Other Jedi-based servers seem to focus on coc-nvim and frequently fail on Neovim +for me. I tried to fix jedi-language-server several times when it failed me but +thought it could be fun to try pygls to redo it as small and simple as I can. + +### Why the name? + +Take the string β€œIs this a Star Wars reference?” Language Server, compress it to +`ITASWRLS` and expand it back to Italian Swirls. Italian dishes are made of few +elements that work well together. Enough questions!
