Crowd-funding to get vscode/language-server support?

[guettli]

I know, that I can't convince my co-workers to use CUE if there is no good vscode integration.

Maybe I am missing something, but AFAIK autocomplete is not availabe up to now. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Sorry, I am not able to help with writing code.

But I could give some money. And if serveral people give money,, too, then a developer could get payed to get
the language-server implementation done.

What do you think?

My team could volunteer to take on this project at https://stakpak.dev

We adopted CUE and heavily rely on it in our projects, and we think the language server is a crucial component to increase user adoption.

We are already working on a language server for CUE, but it would be even better to involve more people to work on a single implementation, rather than having multiple incomplete implementations out there.

Who will work on it?
@thethumbler and I mainly

Is your current language server for CUE available somewhere?

[kajogo777]

No, still in very early development

Child values auto-complete

Embedded values auto-complete

[kajogo777]

It's not yet in a ready-to-use state, but we can make the repo public if this will help

Hi @kajogo777, have you guys perhaps made any progress on this? I'm also trying to increase adoption and a VSCode plugin would really help! :)
