I mean look at the state of the node based LSPs they take so much ram, I work on a very big codebase and if I’m working on frontend+ backend at the same time + got the website running locally as well as some other PR which is also open—> it’s a full on ram eating fest… Our website is more like a CAD software for web so it’s heavy, but the LSPs itself take way too much ram. … and instead we get all these billion dollars funding in cursor and for what, so they can introduce more LLM bloat? I mean it would be nice if someone created better LSP alternatives then what we currently have…

because let’s face it, it doesn’t matter what code editor you are using, whether neovim, vscode, zed or intlj, at the end of the day, node is gonna hog the most memory, instead we need better LSPs written in C/zig/rust/golang or literally anything other than js/ts.

Obviously we can buy more ram or get a better pc, personally I’m on a m4 mbpro, so it’s not slow, but my point is it’s definitely should be more optimised, it’s like gaming companies refusing to optimize games because better hardware exists in the market
